Our forklift daily checklist template is designed for operations and safety managers who need to ensure every forklift is inspected thoroughly at the start of each shift. By standardizing daily inspections, you reduce the risk of costly incidents, support compliance, and create a clear audit trail, which is key for multi-site operations. According to the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), forklift accidents cause around 35,000 serious injuries annually, underscoring the need for daily checks to keep your team safe.
Unlike weekly or maintenance-focused checklists, this daily template streamlines your routine with actionable, shift-specific items so you can keep track of critical items. If you’re looking for more specialized templates, check out our forklift pre-operation, battery maintenance, or operator evaluation forms to further strengthen your fleet’s safety program.
