Vehicle and Equipment Pre-Start Checklist
Use the Vehicle and Equipment Pre–Start checklists to identify and communicate defects on vehicles and equipment and to complete a ‘Fit for Work Declaration’. Select ‘Ok’ or ‘Not OK’ for pre-populated list items, add photographs of defects and add a signature for accountability. Where ‘Not OK’ is selected, a description field and photo field unlocks to add further information on the fault. Then, when the form is submitted, an auto-generated email communicates the defect to stakeholders.
Forklift Truck Pre-Operational Procedure
Use the Forklift Truck Pre–Operational Procedure checklist to find and communicate defects on Forklifts and to complete the ‘Fit for Work Declaration’. Select ‘Ok’ or ‘Not OK’ for line items, add photographs of defects and supply a signature for accountability. Where ‘Not OK’ is selected, a description field and photo field unlocks so further information can be added to describe the fault. Then, when the form is submitted, an auto-generated email communicates the defect to stakeholders.
Motor Vehicle Accident Details Form
Use the Motor Vehicle Accident Details form to collect important information about a motor vehicle accident. Add photos, the accident time and date, witness details, and other important information such as details of the other vehicle and driver, so they are available to Insurers and for an accident investigation. When submitted, the form is time and geo stamped to add validity.
Pallet Load Form
Use the Pallet Load form to document freight loaded onto a vehicle, the name of the customer, and the brand of the pallet the freight was loaded. This form is designed to be completed by the Forklift Operator then validated by the Truck Driver. When submitted, the form is time and geo stamped for validity.
Driver Maintenance Request Form
Use the Driver Maintenance Request form to request maintenance on prime movers, trailers, forklifts and other equipment associated with the Transport and Logistics sector. Photos of the required maintenance can be added to enhance reporting. Then, when the form is submitted, an auto-generated email communicates the maintenance request and defect to stakeholders.
Safe Driving Plan Form
Use the Safe Driving Plan to guide heavy vehicle operators in planning a journey. The heavy vehicle operator and transport supervisor plan the journey then save the form to the draft folder in the smart device app. After completion of the journey, the form is signed to confirm the journey was undertaken as planned, then submitted to cloud-based software and archived.
Bus Monthly Inspection Checklist
Use the Bus Monthly Inspection checklist to complete monthly bus inspections, document maintenance and to report defects. Photos and comments can be added to the checklist for enhanced defect reporting. Once submitted, stakeholders receive an auto-generated email, and the form is archived for compliance purposes.
