EWP Pre-Start Checklist
 
A daily pre-start check for scissor lifts and boom lifts, so faults are found and the EWP is tagged out before anyone goes up.

Before starting checks: tyres, chassis and boom or scissor arms, hydraulics, platform, guardrails and gate, harness anchor points, outriggers, pothole protection, logbook and harness
After starting checks: ground controls, emergency stops, emergency lowering, drive, steering and brakes, tilt alarm and interlocks, overload sensing, and horn and alarms
A faults and tag-out log so a faulty machine is taken out of use until it is repaired
A one-page instruction sheet with step-by-step guidance and tips
 
When to use it
At the start of every shift, before the EWP is used
When a new operator takes over the machine
After a fault has been repaired
