Frequently asked questions
What is a pre-start check?
A pre-start check is a documented inspection that operators complete before using vehicles or equipment. The check identifies faults, wear or damage that could affect safe operation during the shift. Operators examine critical components like brakes, hydraulics, lights, tyres and safety systems, then record their findings in a pre-start checklist. This process protects workers, prevents breakdowns and ensures machinery operates within safe parameters throughout the workday.
What does pre-start mean?
Pre-start means the inspection and checks completed before starting or operating a vehicle or piece of equipment. The term refers to both the action of checking and the documentation used to record those checks. Pre-start ensures machinery is safe and functional before the operator begins work. It creates a clear record that the equipment was examined and approved for use at the start of each shift.
Can I customise my pre-start book?
Yes, we offer custom pre-start books and custom products to match your specific requirements. You can tailor checklists to include company branding, unique inspection points for specialised equipment, or additional fields that suit your workplace procedures. Custom pre-starts ensure your documentation aligns with your operational needs and compliance obligations. Contact us to discuss how we can create a pre-start solution that works for your business.
Are pre-starts a legal requirement?
Yes, pre-start checks are a legal requirement under workplace health and safety legislation in Australia. The Work Health and Safety Act requires businesses to eliminate or minimise risks to workers. Regular equipment inspections form part of this duty of care. Failing to conduct and document pre-start checks can result in penalties, insurance complications and liability issues if incidents occur. The specific requirements vary by state and equipment type, so businesses should verify their obligations with their local workplace safety regulator.
What should your pre-start procedure include?
Your pre-start procedure should cover all components that affect safe operation. This includes checking fluid levels, brakes, tyres, lights, mirrors, steering, hydraulics and warning systems. Operators should also inspect for leaks, damage, loose parts and proper function of all controls. The procedure needs clear documentation where operators record their findings, note any defects and sign off that checks are complete. Every item on the checklist should relate directly to safety, performance or compliance requirements for that specific vehicle or equipment type.
