Excavator Inspections - Weekly Checklist Kit

According to the HSE: “A programme of daily visual excavator safety inspection checklist checks and servicing schedules should be established. Excavator drivers should be encouraged to report defects or problems that are found using the good to go safety excavator safety inspection checklist system. Reported problems should be put right quickly and the faulty excavator taken out of service if the item is safety critical. Daily excavator safety inspections check ensure that problems are discovered quickly, before they become major issues which could cause a serious accident”.

Good to Go Safety is an innovative tool for workplace equipment which allows workers to carry out pre-use checks and spot potential faults before they develop into a more serious and costly defect. These safety checklists are designed to help improve safety, reduce maintenance costs and ensure compliance with legal responsibilities.

Each kit comes in a sturdy highly visible box which is ideal for storing used checkbooks for management records. The kit contains 50 individual (one per week) excavator inspection checklists relating to the components and functionality of an excavator. Duplicate carbon copies of the completed inspection checklists are retained in the book for management records. The books also includes useful guidance notes to remind operatives what to look for during their digger inspection. The kit also contains a status tag which when positioned and attached to the entrance of an Excavator (grab hold) is an ideal way to advise employees when the equipment is "Good to Go" following a pre-use inspection. If a fault is found then the tag can display a "Do Not Use" message to quarantine the equipment until repaired and another inspection deems the Excavator is safe for use. A useful wallet and pen which securely holds the book and pen to protect it from general wear and tear whilst providing a perfect writing surface whilst on the move. The kit also provides 100 tamper evident seals which provide a visual indicator that the checklist insert is in place and verified.
