Forklift checklist

What is a forklift checklist for?

A forklift checklist is used to ensure the safety of forklifts and forklift trucks. Using a forklift checklist reduces the occupational risks for the workers using it at their workplace and ensures more efficient maintenance in the organization, factory or warehouse where it is used. It's also recommended to use a checklist for an inspection of a scissor lift.
