Nikkis OSHBOX Operator Competency Checklist
by Angie Williams, from the Community
This operator competency checklist helps assess and authorize machinery operators. It guides assessors to verify licensing and endorsements, record training, check PPE, and confirm familiarity with safe operating procedures. It prompts walk-arounds and pre-start inspections, evaluates start-up, maneuvering, site condition assessment, safe and controlled operation, and correct shutdown. It also covers hazard identification and notification, incident reporting, and awareness of emergency procedures. The form includes sign-off levels for junior, intermediate, and senior proficiency and provides a certification statement for unsupervised operation. Created for SafetyCulture's Public Library as a starting point and not a substitute for professional advice.
