Check It, Test It
A hip-hop call-and-response track argues that a green light on a screen still has to be verified before anyone trusts it.
The stories behind Check It, Test It
- Check It, Test It Makes the Case for Testing Every Alarm Twice — A hip-hop call-and-response track argues that a green light on a screen still has to be verified before anyone trusts it.
Lyrics
Deck, deck, deck, deck, deck.
Technician on deck.
Clipboard in hand.
No shortcuts today.
That's, that's, that's, that's the command.
Deck, deck,
Check the cables, trace the route.
If it wiggles, figure it out.
Test that alarm, make it scream.
Not just nod at the little green beam.
Work order open, read it twice
Tiny details can save a life
Label the parts, keep notes neat
No mystery screws rolling under your feet
Is it ready? Check it!
Is it steady? Test it!
Did we write it down?
Document!
Before it rolls out!
We, we, we! Check it, check it, check it!
Check it, check it, test it, test it!
No skipping steps when the stakes get intense
Lock it, lock it, lock it, lock it!
Return to service only after the sense
Check it, test it, check it again
Safety is the boss and the boss is our friend
And the boss is our friend
Battery charged, but the charger looks strange
Measure that output, don't gamble the range
Filters get changed, panels get cleaned
Every repair needs a paper trail scene
Looks good, it's not a calibrated phrase
Run a full test through the final phase
If the beep says beep and the screen says bright
Still verify the reading is right
Is it ready? Check it!
Is it steady? Test it!
Did we write it down?
Before it rolls Check it, check
it, check it Check it, check it, test it
No skipping steps when the stakes get intense
Lock it, lock it, lock it, lock it
Return to service only after the sense
Check it, test it, check it again
Safety is the boss and the boss is our friend
Who, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Who touched the cable?
We checked the cable
Who heard the alarm?
We tested the alarm
Who read the order?
We read the order
Who wrote the repair?
We wrote the repair
Who signs it back in?
The whole crew does
No mystery magic, no probably buzz
One more check, one more test
If it isn't documented, it is in blast
One more check, one more look
Safe equipment beats a rush hook
Check it, check it, check it, check it, test it, test it
No skipping steps when the stakes get intense
Lock it, lock it, lock it, lock it
Return to service only after the sense
Check it, test it, check it again
Biomedical crew, let the safe work begin
Cables check, alarms loud
Work order signed, make the team proud
Repair documented, readings verified
Back in service, safe and certified
Safe and Certified
