Below is an example of a Daily Forklift Checklist you can download it or print it by clicking on the image then right clicking the full size image and clicking save-as.

This may help you in doing your daily forklift inspections.

Foklift Daily Checklist

OSHA requires a pre-shift inspection of all lift trucks before they are placed into service. Employers must be certain that no condition exists that might adversely affect the safety of the truck. If problems are found, they must be reported and the truck should be taken out of service immediately for repair. A “Warning: Do NOT Operate” Tag should be affixed to the truck, and not removed until the necessary repairs have been made.

It’s a good idea to personalize your checklist to your operation and working conditions. One example would be including an inspection of the air filter and air cleaner if you are working in dusty operations. Once the pre-shift inspection is completed, have your operators sign and date the form, then give it to their supervisor. After looking it over to see if anything indicates the need for repair, supervisors should place the checklist in the forklift’s file. If you are ever inspected by OSHA you’ll be asked to present these checklists. Failure to produce this record could put you at risk for citations. The checklist below can serve as proof of such inspection.
