 All surveying instruments should be checked at frequent intervals to ensure required accuracy.  Permanent locations should be established for pegging levels, checking optical plums and calibrating measuring devices.  A log on each instrument should be kept up to date and results of each check are to be noted (who, when, and where should also be noted).
-MDOT maintains a location for cleaning, adjusting and repairing instruments at the Secondary Complex.  Instruments should be checked at the end of each season and those needing cleaning or adjusting scheduled for service.  When bringing instruments in for service, any problem area should be noted and damaged parts included.  If the instrument is damaged, a complete written report giving all the circumstances must be included.  If the damage is due to an accident on the part of the employee, the report should so indicate.  If the damage was caused by the Contractor’s employees, or equipment, the report should reflect this information and the Contractor should be advised to refer the matter to his insurance company so they may inspect the damage if desired.  If the instrument is damaged by the traveling public, this should be noted and an accident report included.  The cost of instrument repair is often recoverable from motorist insurance companies.

 Before operating surveying equipment, all MDOT personnel should be trained on proper operation and care of the instrument, including proper methods of transporting.  Surveying equipment should not be left unattended at any time.  Every means should be exercised to ensure the safety of both instrument and personnel while working in traffic, or near construction operations.
