Weekly Vehicle Checklist for Vans
This weekly vehicle checklist is designed for vans used by field engineers and technicians. It captures vehicle registration, date, engineer name, and current mileage, then guides a thorough inspection of tyres (tread depth, pressure, spare), lights and brake lights, key fluid levels (engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, washer), and seat belts. It also covers emergency readiness with checks for a charged, in-date fire extinguisher and a fully stocked first aid kit. General vehicle condition (interior and exterior cleanliness) is assessed alongside readiness of tools, PPE (including masks and COVID-19 PPE), and essential consumables on the van. Use this checklist to improve fleet safety, ensure compliance, and log defects for timely maintenance.
