Using this form you would be able to collect the equipment from employees who were leaving and be able to document the condition of each piece upon collection and reissue. This would allow for the company to adequately account for equipment which becomes antiquated, broken through daily use, or even hold the user accountable for improper use.

This is the method we used when I was a telecommunications installer and seemed to keep people on point without victimizing employees.
