Developed by Mitti (by SafetyCulture)’s Industry Expert Partners, construction companies can use this to guide drivers through critical daily inspections before operating any motor vehicle. Verify general condition, tires, lights, signals, horn, fluids, engine compartment, brakes, steering, trailer condition (if applicable), safety equipment, and required documentation to mitigate risks and ensure a safe workday.

A company vehicle pre-commissioning checklist can be used before purchasing a vehicle for work. Capture registration and photos of the vehicle intended to be purchased. Ensure the vehicle is fit for purpose and all registration, permits and licences have been sought. Check that relevant safety and training practices are in progress. You can modify this template for your workplace and pre-approval requirements.

A daily vehicle inspection checklist template can be used by an authorized inspector to identify defects and mechanical issues for most vehicles. Begin by capturing general information of the vehicle including VIN, license plate and mileage and take a photo of the general condition of the vehicle. The template then prompts the inspector to check the brake system, coupling devices, engine operation, exhaust system and other critical safety components.

Use this template to assess heavy vehicles in your organization’s fleet and prepare for annual vehicle inspections. Identify potential problems and other mechanical issues before they escalate and ensure compliance with vehicle regulations.
