Select Equipment has launched Forklift Safety Pro,
the first ever Forklift Daily Inspection Mobile Application for Apple’s
iOS platform to run on iPhone, iPod, and iPad. A version for Google’s
Android operating system will be launched shortly.
The Forklift Safety Pro application allows lift truck operators to complete their daily or pre-shift
inspections electronically using their iPhone or iPod mobile device.
The completed inspection reports are then transmitted electronically to
the email address of your choosing, typically a supervisor or dedicated
inspection form repository.
According to Dale Verseput, Select Equipment’s Director of Sales, “The daily and pre-shift inspection reports as required by OSHA under Section 1910.178(q)(7) really lend themselves to the portability of a mobile application. With Forklift Safety Pro, the employer has an inspection report which is Date/Time Stamped, is secure and durable, and can be archived in a paperless format.”
Other features of the application include a daily safety question, a counter which lets the operator know how many days are left before he or she is required to be “re-certified”, and if needed, an OSHA incident report form, a service request form, and an unsafe vehicle reporting form.

Having an OSHA daily checklist for forklift operators on their iPhones is an excellent idea. Too often workers are forced to operate forklifts without proper training, making for an unnecessarily hazardous work environment. A safety checklist app would not only be convenient, it would also demonstrate an ongoing commitment to safety.
