This pre-start checklist template helps operators inspect vehicles and equipment before use. It covers registration and odometer details, outstanding faults, general safety checks, oil and coolant levels, inside cab condition, lights and reflectors, wheels and tyres, body and equipment, and required safety equipment. It also includes site-specific items and a worker declaration confirming fitness for work, valid licence, appropriate PPE, and that the machine is safe to operate. Use it to document issues, verify readiness, and improve safety compliance across worksites.
