This EWP pre-start inspection checklist helps operators confirm equipment is safe before use. It covers boom, scissor, and vertical lifts, with guidance on disconnecting power, reviewing manufacturer instructions, and conducting visual checks of chains, cables, chassis, tyres, hydraulics, and fluid levels. It includes PPE verification, signage checks, and operational tests for controls, deadman switches, brakes, alarms, and safety lockouts. The checklist also outlines emergency descent testing and a clear procedure to tag, report, and log any faults with supporting photos prior to operation.
