This reply is only for Budcoh. OSHA requires the forklift to be inspected prior to each shift. If there's an accident the first thing the ask for is the Operator Inspection sheets to show proof. An OSHA Representative told me personally that these are preferred to be kept on file for a few years.

29CFR 1910.178
1910.178(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.

I've been in the industry for 28 years. What you've stated in your post will put companies at risk.
