# EC Rounds — Onboarding Runbook

> From floor plans to your first completed EC inspection round in one walk

This runbook takes a facility from nothing to a completed first round. The key idea: your **first round does triple duty** — labeling, pin placement, and the first inspection happen in a single walk.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload floor plans">
    Make sure each floor that holds EC items has a floor plan uploaded and its rooms placed. If you're already running Forager for asset tracking, this is done. Otherwise, see the [Onboarding Checklist](/getting-started/onboarding-checklist) for the location-hierarchy and floor-plan steps.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import your EC item inventory">
    Export your extinguisher/eyewash/AED/etc. inventory to CSV — item kind, building, and floor are the only required columns — and run it through the dashboard importer. Rooms are fuzzy-matched, unmatched items land at floor level with their location hints intact, and every item gets an automatic room-center pin.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Print labels">
    Generate QR label sheets (Avery 5160) for the imported items from the dashboard. Print them and hand each inspector the sheets for their floors.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Walk the first round">
    The inspector walks the floor with labels in hand. At each item:

    1. Stick the label on the item
    2. Scan it
    3. Tap the item's true position on the floor plan (one tap — the map is pre-centered on its room)
    4. Photo + checklist

    One walk, and every item is labeled, precisely pinned, and carries its first inspection. From here on, items simply surface in the due queue on their cadence.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## RF calibration — optional, and retroactive

You do **not** need RF room calibration to start. Attestation-core evidence (scan + photo + inspector + timestamps) and the sequence-plausibility co-signals work from day one.

When you do survey rooms — at rollout or months later — RF corroboration strengthens your evidence **retroactively**: every inspection captures a raw RF snapshot regardless, and those historical snapshots become scorable once the rooms they were taken in are calibrated.
