Designed for low-friction daily use
The site is intentionally small: choose the checklist, add shift details, print, and file the record. No login flow or complex software rollout.
Select forklift type, work area, or safety program.
Add site, equipment ID, operator, shift, and sign-off fields.
Use the browser print dialog to print or save the sheet as PDF.
Keep defect notes connected to the exact equipment and shift.
Source-aware, not official
PreShift Check links to public workplace-safety resources and avoids official certification claims. Each checklist is an aid for organizing routine checks, not a substitute for employer-specific procedures, qualified review, training, or legal advice.
Questions before printing
Short answers for common small-business checklist decisions.
Can these forms guarantee compliance?
No. They are practical checklist aids. Employers still need site-specific procedures, training, maintenance, hazard assessment, and qualified review where required.
Does PreShift Check store submitted data?
No account is required, and the generator works in the browser. Printed form details are not submitted to a server by this static site.
Why start with forklifts?
Forklift checks have a clear daily workflow and strong operational need. They also connect naturally to dock, warehouse, PPE, and defect-reporting checklists.
