Fun Fact: Under Canadian OHS regulations, powered industrial trucks must be inspected before each use to ensure they’re safe to operate.
 
That means every shift. Every operator. Every time. Skipping the inspection isn’t just risky, it’s non-compliant.
 
Some things to check:
🔍 Brakes that function properly
🔍 Steering that is responsive
🔍 Hydraulics that don’t leak
🔍 Forks that aren’t damaged
🔍 Tires that are ready for the load
 
Bottom Line:
No inspection = No operation.
 
Strong safety culture starts with proper training and clear expectations. Make sure your team knows what to look for, and why it matters.
