There are many benefits of using Good to Go Safety as part of a preventative maintenance regime. By implementing regular equipment safety inspections on workplace equipment (such as Forklifts, Ladders, Scaffolding, Scaffold Towers, Harnesses, MEWPs, Podium Steps, Pallet Trucks, Pallet Racking, Fleet Vehicles - Cars & Vans, Excavators, Trailers, Tractors, Tow Tractors, Loader Cranes, Overhead Cranes, Telehandlers) the chance of spotting a equipment fault early are greatly increased ensuring the company can take action before it deteriorates further. Early detection of damaged or faulty equipment can help to prevent accidents and reduce maintenance costs.

With such a wide range of safety inspection systems available, a consistent format and provision of duplicate records of completed checklist ensures company employees and management are meeting their health and safety obligations relating to workplace equipment (under PUWER, LOLER, WAHR and more).
Our equipment maintenance checklist systems are designed for use in virtually all conditions. Suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The status tag is highly durable and weather resistant and is also universal which means one tag fits all types of equipment - no matter whether you intend to use tags on Scaffolding, Ladders, Forklifts or Pallet Trucks; the tag will sit flush and remain highly visible at all times.
