Equipment Inspections - 25 Checklists

The Good to Go Safety Check Book is a practical and innovative solution designed to make workplace equipment inspections simple, consistent, and effective. By providing pre-use checklists for a wide variety of machinery and equipment, it enables operators to identify potential faults and hazards before they develop into serious or costly issues. These structured inspections not only improve safety for employees but also help reduce maintenance costs, extend the lifespan of equipment, and ensure compliance with legal obligations.

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) set out the fundamental requirements for workplace equipment. Under PUWER, all equipment must be suitable and safe for its intended use, maintained in a safe condition, and, where necessary, subject to regular inspections. Additionally, it must only be used by individuals who have received appropriate information, instruction, and training. With such a diverse range of equipment used across different industries, it is impossible to cover every scenario with a single checklist. However, Good to Go Safety provides a structured approach to meet the core requirements of PUWER and HSE guidance, giving organisations confidence that inspections are carried out correctly and consistently.

Good to Go Safety offers an ever-expanding range of inspection check books to meet the needs of modern workplaces. Our comprehensive selection covers equipment such as Forklifts, Pallet Trucks, Ladders, Pallet Racking, Podium Steps, Cars, Vans, Tow Tractors, Trailers, Scaffolding Towers, Fixed Scaffolding, Loader Cranes, Overhead Cranes, Excavators, Forklift Work Platforms, Harnesses, Telehandlers, Mobile Elevating Work Platforms (MEWPs), Scissor Lifts, Boom Lifts, Straddle Carriers, Lorry Loaders, and many more. This breadth of coverage allows employers to implement a consistent safety culture across their operations, regardless of the type of equipment in use.

Each Good to Go Safety Check Book contains 25 individual inspection checklists tailored to the chosen equipment type. These checklists guide operators through every critical component, ensuring nothing is overlooked. Once completed, a duplicate carbon copy of each checklist is retained in the book for management and compliance records, creating a clear audit trail that can be referenced during internal safety reviews or HSE inspections. This system allows organisations to maintain a high standard of safety and demonstrates due diligence in equipment management.

By integrating Good to Go Safety Check Books into daily operations, employers can foster a proactive safety culture, reduce the likelihood of accidents, identify maintenance needs early, and maintain full compliance with PUWER, LOLER, and other applicable health and safety legislation. Regular use of these checklists empowers operators to take ownership of equipment safety while providing management with the documentation needed to monitor, review, and improve workplace safety standards.
