Equipment downtime is the enemy of any workplace, so keeping forklifts (the workhorse of the warehouse) operating efficiently is essential to a successful business.
Implementing a programme of daily checks is an important, low cost and effective method of identifying potential faults before they develop into more costly or terminal defects. As such, they are the cornerstone of any good preventative maintenance regime.
An effective system should not only provide the operative with a list of components to check, it should also provide guidance notes specific to the equipment and more importantly it needs to provide visual confirmation that the forklift has been inspected that day. Displaying the findings on a forklift ensures everyone knows when it was checked and what the findings were.
The visual tags and checklists provided by Good to Go Safety allow spot checks to be carried out at any time and provide additional reassurances to all staff members that stringent safety checks are being completed. In addition the checklists produce a carbon copy of completed inspections, providing an audit trail that can be used as evidence in the event of an incident.
The Good to Go Safety range is not limited to forklifts; systems are also available for pallet racking, pallet trucks, stepladders, vehicles and trailers to ensure warehouse safety and operations remain good to go at all times. The full range is available to order at www.goodtogosafety.co.uk
