Pre-Start Checks for Machines and Vehicles
by Tyron Massara, from the Community
This pre-start checklist helps operators verify critical safety and operational items before using heavy machines or vehicles. It covers A, B, and C fault categories with checks for brakes, steering, fluid levels, tyres, lights, seat belts, radios, fire extinguishers, track condition, pivot pins, and housekeeping. Use it to document defects, add locations, record hours, and capture operator comments and signatures to ensure compliance and reduce downtime.
