Powered Industrial Truck Program Audit Checklist
by Aaron Barkley, from the Community
Use this comprehensive audit checklist to evaluate the effectiveness of your powered industrial truck program. Verify training for operators and battery handlers, confirm daily pre use inspections, and ensure proper maintenance and change management. Check safe operating practices such as speed control, horn use at blind spots, load limits, and protections like overhead guards and wheel chocks. Review documentation retention and approvals to align with OSHA 1910.178 and reduce incidents across warehouses and manufacturing sites.
