This daily safety inspection checklist supports maritime operations by guiding crews through pre-departure and post-operation checks. Items include deck housekeeping and non-skid surfaces, navigation lights, fuel caps and levels, flares and life ring accessibility, and fire extinguisher tagging, access, and securement. It also covers first aid stock and signage, PPE availability and condition, VHF radio operation, and tool readiness. Record hazards and defects via the hazard and defect registers, and confirm trailer readiness including lights, winch, and securing straps. Conclude with inspector details and master sign-off for accountability.
