Pre-operational safety

• the pre-operational is important for the workes safety.


• it involves a daily check of the machines health.
Pre-operational check

• Pre-operational check will reduce the chance of


equipment being operated in an unsafe condition (which
could cause injury to operators workers, facilities or
product).
• It allows you to spot and deal with maintenance issues
early, before they turn into larger problems like
downtime, equipment damage, or expensive repairs.
• Begin the visual check with a quik overview of the work
environment. Check the floor and sorrounding area clear
of obstructions. Check if there is evidence of any fluid
leaks? then look over the vehicle itself, noting and wear
or damage to tires, hoses, forks, attachments, chains,
reels, holddowns, guards and so forth. Ensure every fluid
levels are goodm the battery is charged, lights and horns
are operational.
• Next, start the unit and check that all gauges are operational,
brakes gears and steering are working smoothly, lifting and
tilting mechanisms are functioning correctly, and cylinders and
hoses are not leaking.

• any problem that are identified should be reported to a


supervisor immediately.
• A useful tool is the pre-operational inspection checklist.
• implementing the use of a paper checklist system
reminds the operators to regularly checks, ensures that
problems are documented and communicated to
supervisors, and helps pinpoint when and how changes
in condition of the equipment occured.
