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.

ForkliftAction does not allow email or website references in the body of messages, but they do allow you to put your website in your profile, which I have done. You can go to the website, if you want to get more information than it is possible to post here.

Fact of the week
Brothers Adolf ("Adi") and Rudolf ("Rudi") Dassler split their shoe company after WWII due to a bitter feud, and established the rival companies of Adidas and Puma. Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
