This lifting operation safety inspection checklist helps verify safe use of forklifts and telehandlers on site. It guides checks across offices and welfare, monitoring and control records, site-wide access, traffic and exclusion zones, and occupational health risks such as housekeeping, manual handling, fire safety, electrical safety, noise, and hazardous substances. Lift-specific questions confirm correct equipment configuration, accessories, team attendance, PPE, communications, environmental conditions, and storage. It also covers RAMS and drawings, including worst case lift, maximum height, ground bearing pressures, and relevant risk assessments. Includes summary and sign-off fields for accountability.
