Forms are documents that collect information from one’s clients, customers, and respondents. Some common examples of forms include forms for purchases, incident reports, hazards, quality control, contact tracing, and feedback gathering.
A typical form would have the following elements:
Name or purpose of the form
Description of the form and a guide to answering it
Labels to describe certain sections and questions
Action buttons or links that lead to other pages or links
Fields for answers
Validation proofs such as a signature, thank you, or exit message

There are many ways to create an inspection form depending on the industry, but generally, they are used by managers or specific staff to help in their internal auditing and assure everything is safe and in place.
