Daily operational check
A safe operation begins with daily checks before the start of the shift.
Annual testing and daily operational testing complement each other for safe operation.
Inspection by a competent person and inspection log
Industrial trucks must be inspected at least once a year by a competent person.
Any defects found are documented in the inspection log.
An inspection sticker on the forklift indicates that the inspection has been completed and the inspection log updated.
Daily operational check
Inspection by a competent person alone is not sufficient to ensure operational safety.
Before each shift, the operator checks the forklift using the 4x4 rules for the daily pre-use inspection.
- performed by the operator before every shift
- quick to carry out and relevant to safety
- based on the 4x4 inspection rules
Report immediately and do not drive an unsafe forklift
Identified defects must be reported to the superior immediately.
The superior determines the further procedure.
Refuse to operate an unsafe forklift truck.
