Below is a comprehensive daily inspection checklist for boom lifts and scissor lifts aligned with Singapore’s safety standards. This checklist covers documentation, visual, fluid, mechanical, and environmental checks to help ensure that the equipment is safe for operation each day.
1. General Information
- Date & Time:
Record the inspection date, start time, and shift details. - Operator & Supervisor:
Note the names and signatures of the operator and the supervising personnel. - Equipment Identification:
- Manufacturer
- Model Number
- Serial Number
- Hour Meter / Usage Details
2. Pre-Operational Documentation & Visual Inspection
-
Safety & Operator Manuals:
- Confirm that the operator’s manual, safety manual, and maintenance instructions are present, complete, and legible.
- Ensure all safety decals, placards, and warning labels are in place and clearly readable.
(Reference: )
-
Certification & Permit Verification:
- Check that the equipment certification and inspection records are current.
- Confirm that the Permit-to-Work (PTW) or related safety permits are attached and approved.
-
Structural & Physical Condition:
- Inspect the boom or scissor structure for visible damage, cracks in welds, dents, excessive rust, or corrosion.
- Verify that all structural components (e.g., outriggers, stabilizers, extension arms) and fasteners (bolts, pins) are secure and undamaged.
- Look for any unauthorized modifications or missing parts.
3. Fluid & Leak Checks
-
Hydraulic System:
- Check hydraulic oil levels; look for leaks, chafing, or damaged hoses.
- Verify that the hydraulic system is free from contamination and within the recommended operating range.
-
Engine & Battery Fluids:
- Inspect engine oil levels and look for signs of leakage.
- Check coolant levels in the engine (and battery compartment if applicable) and top up if necessary.
- For fuel-powered machines, ensure the fuel level is adequate and that there are no leaks.
4. Mechanical & Operational Checks
-
Controls & Functional Operation:
- Test all operational controls (joysticks, buttons, and emergency stop features) for smooth and responsive action.
- Operate the scissor mechanism and/or boom functions (lift, extend/retract, pivot) to ensure there is no binding or unusual resistance.
-
Drive and Braking Systems:
- Check that the drive motors and any turntable motors operate smoothly.
- Verify that the brakes, including the park brake, are functioning correctly.
- Test all limit switches, alarms, horns, beacons, and strobe lights to ensure they activate as intended.
-
Wiring & Electrical Components:
- Inspect electrical cables, wiring, and connectors for signs of wear or damage.
- Confirm that battery connections are secure and free of corrosion.
-
Tires & Wheels (if applicable):
- Check tire pressure, tread condition, and inspect for damage or excessive wear.
5. Safety Equipment & Accessories
-
Fall Protection & Access:
- Verify that guardrails, platform gates, and entry steps or ladders are in place and secure.
- Ensure that harness anchorage points, safety lanyards, and body harnesses (if provided) are intact and accessible.
-
Emergency & Auxiliary Devices:
- Check that the emergency descent/lowering system is operational.
- Confirm that any additional safety features (e.g., load limiters, platform interlocks) are functioning.
- Ensure that any stabilizers or outriggers are properly deployed and locked.
6. Environmental & Work Area Checks
- Site Safety:
- Inspect the immediate work area for hazards such as uneven ground, obstacles, or overhead obstructions.
- Confirm that appropriate barricades, warning signage, or traffic management measures are in place.
- Ensure that the equipment is positioned on stable and level ground before operation.
7. Post-Operation and Documentation
-
Recording & Reporting:
- Log any issues or irregularities observed during the inspection.
- Record mileage/hours of operation if applicable.
- Note any maintenance or repair actions required, and report these immediately.
-
Post-Use Check:
- After completing work, perform a brief inspection to ensure the equipment is in the same safe condition as at the start of the shift.
- Clean the equipment and store it in the designated secure area.
-
Sign-Off:
- Both operator and supervisor should sign off on the completed checklist, confirming that all items have been checked and any discrepancies noted.
This detailed checklist should be used as part of your daily pre-operation routine to help maintain equipment integrity and ensure operator safety. Adjust the checklist as needed to meet specific company policies or additional manufacturer recommendations.
