Who is this for

The Forklift Premium Pre Start is used by forklift operators, warehouse supervisors, and WHS officers to record daily safety checks on counterbalance forklifts, reach trucks, and order pickers before each shift. Pre-start inspections of forklifts are a legal requirement under WHS legislation and are enforced by warehouse and distribution centre managers, logistics operators, and manufacturing facilities across Australia. The book covers controls, hydraulics, forks, mast, tyres, brakes, lights, and safety systems, providing a structured check that reduces the risk of equipment failure during operation. The duplicate format provides a copy for the operator's records and one for the supervisor or safety file.

Additional Information

The BSB 003 Forklift Pre Start Checklist is designed for daily mandatory safety inspections in Australian workplaces where forklift compliance is critical to Work Health and Safety regulations and powered industrial vehicle safety. It provides forklift operators, warehouse supervisors, and site managers across warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, and construction with a practical inspection solution to identify hazards, meet WHS obligations, and maintain accurate records for forklifts and powered industrial vehicles.

The book is manufactured with a card cover, 80gsm NCR internals, and spiral bound spine. The NCR carbonless paper produces instant duplicate records without carbon paper, so both the operator and warehouse management retain a copy of every completed inspection. The writing shield prevents transfer marks when completing duplicate sets, and the spiral bound spine allows the book to lie flat during walkaround checks. At A5 148 x 210mm, it is easy to store at the operator station or in a site office.

The checklist format covers hydraulics, forks, mast operation, safety devices, tyres, and forklift specific equipment, supporting the systematic daily inspections required under Australian WHS regulations and materials handling safety programs.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get these books printed with my company name and logo?

Yes. Brute Safety Products offers custom pre start books that can include your company branding, logo, and any additional inspection fields specific to your equipment or workplace procedures. Custom printing is produced in Perth, WA, and is well suited to businesses that need documentation aligned with their own safety management systems or client requirements. Contact the team directly to discuss quantities, turnaround times, and artwork requirements for a custom order.

Which vehicles and equipment do you have pre start books for?

The premium range currently covers nine common plant and vehicle types: light vehicles, heavy vehicles, forklifts, excavators, bobcats and backhoes, front end loaders, elevated work platforms, generators, and telehandlers. Each book is designed around the specific components and safety systems of that equipment, so operators are checking the right things rather than working through a list that does not match their machine.

How many checklists does each premium pre start book contain?

Each premium pre start book contains 50 duplicate sets. Every set produces two copies, one for the operator and one for records, using NCR paper, so there is no need for carbon sheets or photocopying. At one check per shift, a single book covers 50 shifts of documented inspections. For sites running multiple shifts or multiple machines, buying in packs or setting up a trade account is a practical option.

Are these pre start books compliant with Australian WHS legislation?

Yes. The premium pre start books are designed to support compliance with the Work Health and Safety Act and relevant state regulations across Australia. They provide a clear, signed record that an operator inspected a vehicle or piece of equipment before commencing work, which is a core requirement of any documented safety management system. That said, the specific inspection points required for your equipment and industry should be verified against your state regulator's guidance and your own safe work procedures. For operations with unique requirements, custom pre start books are also available.

What makes the premium pre start books different from a budget checklist book?

The premium pre-start books from Brute Safety Products stand apart through two practical upgrades that matter on a real worksite. First, the spiral bound spine allows the book to lie completely flat when open, which makes writing easier in the cab of a vehicle or on the side of a machine. Second, the forms themselves are streamlined — the inspection fields are laid out clearly so operators can move through the check quickly without confusion or skipped items. Combined with 50 NCR duplicate sets and a built in writing shield, the result is a book that is genuinely faster and easier to use than a basic stapled or glued pad, which translates to better compliance on the ground.
