That's what these are. U.S. OSHA requires a safety check be performed on forklifts as indicated by the code reference below. So we have check lists. It's best to have them signed and filed, in case anything does happen and your safety procedures are questioned.

OSHA Regulations (Standards - 29 CFR) Powered industrial trucks. - 1910.178

· Standard Number: 1910.178
· Standard Title: Powered Industrial Trucks.
· SubPart Number: N
· SubPart Title: Materials Handling and Storage
· Applicable Standard: Applicable Standard:

..1910.178(q)(7) (q)(7) Industrial trucks shall be examined before being placed in service, and shall not be placed in service if the examination shows any condition adversely affecting the safety of the vehicle. Such examination shall be made at least daily. Where industrial trucks are used on a round-the-clock basis, they shall be examined after each shift. Defects when found shall be immediately reported and corrected.
