Which option confirms the daily inspection includes readiness of controls?

• A. Controls set to 'Operationally Ready'
• B. Controls set to Off
• C. Controls set to Start
• D. Controls set to Idle

Answer: (A)

During a daily inspection, you’re checking that the equipment is in a state ready for use. Setting the controls to “Operationally Ready” communicates that the system is configured for normal operation, with safety interlocks functioning and all control responses aligned with a proper startup and run. This state confirms the equipment can be started and operated under expected conditions.

The other states don’t indicate full readiness: Off means power is removed, so the system isn’t ready to operate; Start is an action to initiate, not a sustained readiness state; Idle is a low-activity stance that doesn’t guarantee everything is prepared for normal operation.
