Multi-Award Winning Equipment Inspections & Checklist Tagging System
Good to Go Safety is a multi-award winning system that empowers companies to carry out thorough and consistent safety inspections on all types of workplace equipment. At the heart of the system are our carefully designed safety inspection checklists, which allow a competent person to conduct preventative maintenance checks across a wide range of equipment and industry sectors. These checklists form one essential part of the system, while the accompanying status tag provides instant, clear visibility of completed inspections, including dates and findings. The status tag also acts as an immediate alert if an inspection is overdue or if faults have been identified, removing any uncertainty and eliminating the risk of employees assuming equipment is safe to use when it is not.
Integrating Good to Go Safety into a preventative maintenance program delivers significant benefits for businesses of all sizes. Regular inspections on workplace equipment—including forklifts, ladders, scaffolding, scaffold towers, harnesses, MEWPs, podium steps, pallet trucks, pallet racking, fleet vehicles, excavators, trailers, tractors, tow tractors, loader cranes, overhead cranes, and telehandlers—dramatically increase the likelihood of spotting faults early. Identifying issues at an early stage enables companies to take corrective action before minor problems escalate into costly repairs or safety incidents. By helping prevent accidents, reduce downtime, and lower maintenance costs, the system makes equipment management simpler, safer, and more efficient. Its straightforward implementation ensures that teams of all experience levels can adopt it quickly, enhancing both workplace safety and operational productivity.
Compliance is a critical aspect of equipment management, and Good to Go Safety supports this fully. The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations (PUWER) 1998, along with LOLER, WAHR, and other relevant legislation, imposes clear legal duties on companies to provide, inspect, maintain, and operate safe equipment. With a multitude of inspection systems available, maintaining a consistent checklist format and duplicate records of completed inspections ensures that employees and management can confidently demonstrate compliance and fulfil their health and safety obligations.
Our equipment maintenance checklist system is engineered for virtually any environment. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, the highly durable, weather-resistant status tag is designed to be universal, fitting all types of equipment seamlessly. Whether applied to scaffolding, ladders, forklifts, or pallet trucks, the tag remains flush, secure, and highly visible at all times. For optimal effectiveness, we recommend positioning the tag at the main access point of each piece of equipment, ensuring that all potential users can easily see the inspection status before use. This combination of visibility, durability, and ease of use makes Good to Go Safety an invaluable addition to any workplace safety and maintenance program.
