This free pre-use inspection checklist template makes any pre-use inspection quick, easy and organised.

Pre-use inspections are conducted on almost every job site around the world every day. They can be conducted for any and all types of potentially dangerous equipment to ensure that they are in good and safe working order prior to being used and operated.

Even though the frequency of pre-use inspections is incredibly high and the consequence of equipment failures significant, many companies and workers still participate in inspection processes which are time-consuming and disorganised.

Using a pre-use inspection checklist template like you see here, you can streamline and improve how all of your inspections are conducted and actioned.

The checklist you see to the right is the basic framework, and was built specifically for heavy equipment pre-use inspections.

However, the checklist template itself is completely customisable, so you can add, remove or edit form fields in seconds. You can customise the template for any kind of pre-use inspection, and the framework of specifying important record keeping details, checking of the inspection items and signing off on the checklist are universally applicable.

You can access and fill this pre-use inspection checklist on a mobile, tablet or desktop device, so that inspections become quicker and easier to complete.

Once complete, the checklist records or reports can be stored online - or you can export them as a professionally formatted PDF document (or CSV) similar to the export you see to the right.
