In the UK, PUWER requires work equipment to be maintained in a safe condition and, where deterioration could lead to danger, inspected at suitable intervals by a competent person. This checklist gives a consistent format; adapt it to each machine's risks.
Templates are a starting point. Adapt them to your site, your equipment and your procedures, and have them reviewed by a competent person.
