Accidents involving forklift trucks can have a life-changing impact, so it's important to enforce safe operating practices. Daily Forklift Checklist/Observations OSHA requires that all forklifts be examined at least once a day or shift before use by a procedure known as a Pre-Operation Inspection. This practice requires that operators perform a visual and functional test of the lift's systems, documenting their results in a physical or digital checklist. The goal here is to make sure that the lift is being checked for safe functionality before each use, and that the operator has assured themselves that their lift truck will get them safely through the day. If any circumstances make the operator feel uncertain about the lift's safety during this check, the operator must remove the lift from service. Health and Safety Work Act The HSW Act requires you to provide adequate supervision. It is essential that staff have enough training and knowledge to recognize safe and unsafe practices.
