A machinery pre start, also known as a pre operational inspection or pre start inspection, is used to conduct routine safety inspections of machinery and equipment before operation.
Typically, a pre start checklist consists of a series of items that need to be checked before starting or operating the machinery. These items may include inspecting components such as fluids, brakes, lights, controls, safety guards, and any other relevant safety features.
Using a digital pre start checklist app offers several advantages over traditional paper-based methods such as pre start booklets. It allows for easier and more efficient data collection, as information can be input directly into the digital platform. It also enables real-time visibility and tracking of inspection results, as well as immediate access to historical inspection records.
Furthermore, digital pre starts can often capture photos and notes enhancing the completeness and accuracy of inspections.
