Pre-Use Inspection Checklist

by Les Madden, from the Community

This pre-use inspection checklist helps operators verify machine readiness and safety before starting work. Capture date, operator, and area of work, then complete pre and post checks, note any faults, and confirm batteries are on charge when required. Identify defects that require the machine to be taken out of service, document time in/out, and add operator initials for accountability. Ideal for facilities and cleaning teams managing battery-powered equipment, and adaptable to other workplaces needing consistent equipment checks.
