Forklifts are a common sight in many industries. Whether used in warehouses, manufacturing plants,
retail applications or elsewhere, forklifts are crucial tools in the daily operations and supply chains of
most businesses. Because of this frequent level of use, many operators and nearby pedestrians can
become complacent regarding safety protocols. This complacency can have many ill effects, including
asset damage, employee discipline, fines, injury, and even death. According to the Operational Safety
and Health Administration (OSHA), an average of 100 employees are killed each year in forklift
accidents, and as many as 95,000 total forklift accidents occur on an annual basis. In many cases, these
accidents are avoidable. That is where Cardiff is needed, our forklift inspection services will make sure to

WHY DO YOU NEED THIS FORKLIFT INSPECTION?
Beyond behavioral causation, injuries and fatalities also stem from detectable equipment failure when
employees do not properly inspect and assess equipment before use. Safety regulators, forklift
manufacturers, and many companies encourage that forklifts be inspected before operating, but these
inspections are often neglected or poorly documented. You need a team that makes forklift inspection
properly done task. Cardiff excels at administering and ensuring quality inspection. Safety is an obvious
reason that these inspections should be conducted regularly, and so is compliance.
OSHA FORKFLIFT INSPECTION
In its 29 CFR 1910.178 standard language, OSHA states that forklifts must be inspected either daily, or
after each shift in cases where vehicles are in round-the-clock use. If problems are discovered, they must
be reported and the forklift must be removed from service immediately. While there are no mandates in
the standard as to precisely how the inspections must be conducted, there are suggested best practices
readily available and followed by CSCP. OSHA forklift inspection is followed by Cardiff. OSHA forklift
inspection standards are provided in form of our forklift inspection.
