Blank - Create your Own Inspections - Workplace Inspection Checklists

A simple solution prevents the need and cost involved in designing your own checklist

With a wide choice of pre-printed checklists available to choose from for common workplace equipment our range meets the needs of most organisations. From time to time however a company will want to use the system for a piece of equipment that we do not currently provide a checklist for within our standard range.

In these circumstances it is often preferred to continue using the same format and methodology for completing the inspections to ensure continuity and understanding by all. In order to achieve this we can supply a “blank” check book that allows you to create your own checklist to be used in the same way as our standard versions. This checklist will simply display a number for each step of the inspection and you can fill in the required details. Depending on the frequency of inspection we would suggest printing a label to show the numbers and associated checks to be completed and simply place it inside the book’s cover for cross referencing against the numbers on the checklist – this saves you from having to rewrite the entire checklist each time.

With over 4.3 million checklists sold, our Good to Go Safety check books remain an essential tool for many companies to successfully complete and record their various equipment inspections within the workplace. Creating a bespoke checklist is easy using our blank books and will help you to specify the exact checks you want to be carried out by your operatives and maintenance teams, helping you to meet your duties under PUWER (The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations) and various other Standards.

PUWER stipulates that equipment provided for use at work is:
1. Suitable and safe for use.
2. Maintained in a safe condition and, in certain circumstances, inspected to ensure this remains the case.
3. Used by people who have received adequate information, instruction and training.

As a result, employers must ensure that:
1. Measures are in place to minimise risks.
2. Only fully trained personnel are allowed to use equipment where there is a specific risk.
3. Work equipment provided is suitable, maintained and used without risks.

Good to Go Safety delivers on all levels. Simply attach a status tag to the relevant equipment and use your bespoke blank checklist to carry out a pre-use inspection before placing the findings inside the tag for all to see. A duplicate copy of your completed checklist will be retained within the check book for your management records. Never before has equipment tagging been so accessible, adaptable and affordable.

This simple solution prevents the need and cost involved in designing and printing the required quantity to justify an affordable print run. If however, you do require a large number of books for “specialist” equipment do get in touch and we will be happy to discuss the options available to you. Alternatively, you may also like to consider our digital alternative which allows you to create your own checklists to use with the TakeAIM app.
