Evaluate forklift operator competence with a structured checklist for powered industrial trucks. Assess pre shift inspections, understanding of the capacity plate, safe mounting and dismounting, seatbelt use, visibility and horn use, and unattended vehicle procedures. Review smooth starts and stops, steering and brake use, and correct operation of hydraulic controls. Verify load capacity matching, load stability, and safe maneuvering at appropriate speeds in forward and reverse. Check stacking and de stacking practices including entry and withdrawal, fork level, correct set down, undercut limits, and safe load placement. Confirm safe parking steps including park brake, neutral, forward tilt, forks lowered, wheels straight, and key removal. Use this free template to standardize evaluations and improve workplace safety.
