Vehicle and Plant Audit (HSEQ10)
This HSEQ10 Vehicle and Plant Audit template helps verify that vehicles and heavy plant meet safety and compliance requirements before operation. Inspectors can confirm the presence and condition of critical items such as fire extinguishers and first aid kits; check for sunscreen and prestart books; ensure daily prestarts are being completed; and review vehicle cleanliness inside and out. It also prompts verification of regulatory compliance, including current WOF/COF, registration, RUCs, and visible plant numbers. Use this checklist to streamline inspections, improve fleet safety, and maintain consistent records across worksites.
