51313 Forklift Daily Kit

Under official safety regulations there are stringent requirements for the regular inspection of workplace machinery, and quite rightly so. It's easy to grumble about 'health and safety nonsense' but my father was a government safety inspector and regularly came home with stories of his investigations after workers had been killed or maimed for life, innocent victims of equipment failure. His job was keeping people safe so they could go home again to their families after an honest days work, and I honour him for that. He'd have approved of this forklift safety kit, I think.If you delve into the regulations for the examination of lifting equipment it's really quite complex and onerous. Forklifts come under both the LOLER and PUWER regs, with both thorough and regular examinations required, by a competent person, and all to be documented and recorded in an approved manner. HSE publication INDG422 gives you guidance.Luckily, clever people have already trawled through the requirements on your behalf, and created a kit that helps you comply without the need for a load of headache inducing research.Inside the box are:2 status tags11 safety checklist books - each page has a status label for the tags above300 tamper evident seals1 checklist book wallet with penThe box the kit comes in doubles as a filing box for completed checks, and the kit covers you for an entire year.Each daily checklist is an 18 point safety check that covers all necessary areas and comes with guidance notes for the inspector. Depending on the result of the inspection, the inspector then detaches either the green 'Good To Go' or the red 'Do Not Use' slip, slides it inside the yellow plastic safety tag which is intended to be attached to the forklift.This kit makes it easy to comply with regulations, and to ensure the safety of your employees. It verifies that employees know at all times whether a particular forklift is either safe, or unsafe to use.The price of this kit is very reasonable when you consider that it keeps you compliant and working safely for an entire year. And remember, there are big fines for putting your workers at risk. I recommend this kit.

It's compliant with current HSE regulations for forklift use, and the box is very organised and a nice night yellow for easy sight. It contains a usage tag which can label the plant to not use it, or to declare that it's had it's daily check. The book and pen makes carrying out the check easy, and everything is designed to be clear and tamper proof.It's one of those things that I think gets taken for granted, but you've got to do daily checks more than just to check boxes and be compliant. Usage of faulty plant can cause serious accidents, and if you're an employer than can mean a big liability, not to mention actual bodily harm to the person involved. It's definitely worth getting in to the habit of doing checks.If you're a sub contractor you'll understand the H&S pressure lately, so this is a must if you've got on hire or self owned forklifts. Warehouses also would benefit from this, as daily checks and keeping a clear record of them will help you out if you get an audit.£70 is expensive but for anyone that works in the construction industry knows, it's all expensive. Regardless of this, it's a good kit.

Everything in this kit is correct and up to date with current regulations regarding forklift trucks.With the current climate of health and safety and ever more stringent rules on building sites and warehouses regrding the maintenance and operation of forklifts this kit can really help.Inside you have your daily checks and paperwork going over what needs to be done. These can then be stored inside the box itself which is well designed and solid so should last some tough environments like a building site.Personally i have dontated this copy to my workplace were we are all using it daily.

This kit has everything you need to ensure safety is above board and there for everyone to see. This includes everything you need so it's well worth the money.

System that makes it easier to comply with regulation. It is, however, very expensive
