An aerial lift inspection form ensures comprehensive safety checks before any elevated work begins. This template covers vehicle components, lift mechanisms, and workplace environment factors to prevent accidents and maintain compliance.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aerial lift incidents make up an average of 2-3% of all construction fatalities. When you document inspections with this form, you boost accountability and identify potential hazards before they cause equipment breakdown or accidents. For example, if you spot system issues during routine inspections, you can prevent a potentially catastrophic lift failure.

Frequently asked questions

What should I do if I find a defect during my aerial lift inspection?

Immediately tag the equipment as “out of service” using a visible tag. Document the specific defect on the inspection form with photos if possible. Report findings to your supervisor or maintenance department according to company protocol. Never operate equipment with safety defects, even for “quick jobs.”

Who is qualified to complete this aerial lift inspection form?

Operators should complete daily pre-use inspections after receiving proper training on the specific lift model. Frequent inspections (quarterly) and annual inspections must be performed by qualified mechanics familiar with the specific aerial lift type. Training documentation should be maintained alongside inspection records for compliance purposes.

What personal protective equipment should be noted in the PPE section of this form?

The PPE section should document fall protection equipment (full-body harness and lanyard), hard hat, safety glasses, and appropriate footwear. For electrical work near power lines, note insulated gloves and tools. Always verify PPE is in good condition with no signs of damage, wear, or missing components.

How does completing this inspection form help with OSHA compliance?

OSHA requires documented pre-use inspections of aerial lifts under 29 CFR 1926.453. This form provides evidence of your compliance with these regulations. During an OSHA inspection, these completed forms demonstrate your equipment safety measures and maintenance protocols, potentially reducing liability and avoiding citations.
