During inspections, how should you handle a minor issue that you can repair?

Documenting the issue for maintenance is essential as it ensures that there is a formal record of the minor repair. This practice helps to maintain an accurate history of the bus's condition and repairs, which is valuable for ongoing maintenance and troubleshooting. It also allows mechanics or maintenance personnel to be aware of issues that might recur or need further attention in the future.

When you document the issue, you contribute to a systematic approach that can enhance safety and operational efficiency. Not reporting it or merely fixing it without documentation could lead to a lack of accountability and oversight, potentially resulting in unresolved problems that might escalate in severity over time. Keeping a log of repairs and issues promotes transparency and effectiveness in the vehicle maintenance process.
