Complete this inspection before operating the forklift at the start of each shift. If any item is marked Fault, do not operate — lock out/tag out the unit and report to your supervisor.
A pre-operation inspection checklist for forklift operators, aligned with OSHA powered industrial truck requirements under 29 CFR 1910.178. Covers visual walk-around checks, fluid levels, operational controls testing, and safety device verification before each shift.
OSHA requires that industrial trucks be examined before being placed in service. This daily inspection catches mechanical faults, reduces workplace injuries, and provides documentation for OSHA compliance audits.
