Why Your ‘OK’ Ticks on Paper Sheets Are Basically Worthless Now

Writing “OK” next to a fridge temperature used to be enough. It isn’t any more.

Officers now routinely ask: “How do you know it was OK? What was the actual reading? Who checked it?” If the sheet only says “OK” and nothing else, they mark it as poor record-keeping.

What they want to see: the actual temperature (e.g. 3.8 °C) and initials or a name. Even better: automatic timestamp and photo option.

Blank “OK” ticks are now one of the fastest ways to lose 10–15 points. A proper digital log removes the problem completely — the reading is recorded exactly as measured, no human error, no blank boxes.
