How to run the inspection

The order below keeps the walk-round safe and makes the printed record defensible in a client or authority audit.

1
Record the site details
Enter the site or project name, the emirate and the inspector so the printed record identifies who carried out the inspection and which authority's rules apply.
2
Check the plant register before you walk the site
Confirm every machine on site appears in the plant register with its third-party thorough examination certificate, insurance and last inspection date before you inspect the machine itself.
3
Verify operator competency at the machine
Ask each operator for their ADOSH-SF, Dubai Municipality, IPAF or RTA card, check it is in date and matches the machine category, and confirm banksmen, riggers and signallers hold their own certification.
4
Inspect the machine and its safety devices
Work through the category checks — structure and ROPS/FOPS, brakes and steering, lights and horns, hydraulics, load charts, limiters, reversing aids and emergency stops — recording defects as you go.
5
Walk the traffic management and exclusion zones
Verify segregated pedestrian routes, crossing points, signage, speed limits, lighting and the exclusion zones around cranes, MEWPs and reversing plant against the traffic management plan.
6
Close out critical items and file the record
Any outstanding critical item takes the machine out of service until it is closed. Assign an owner and date to each open item, then export the PDF into your plant inspection register.

Frequently asked questions

Is the plant and machinery inspection checklist free?

Yes. All 78 checks are free to use with no sign-up. Progress saves in your browser (and to your account if you sign in), and you can export a branded PDF or print the checklist for a paper walk-round.

What does the plant checklist cover?

Cranes and lifting equipment, excavators and earthmoving plant, forklifts and powered lift trucks, MEWPs, dump trucks and site vehicles, concrete pumps and mixers, compressors and pneumatic equipment, traffic management, operator licensing and competency, and the plant register and inspection regime — each item referenced to the UAE authority or standard that requires it.

Can I use the completed checklist in a client or authority audit?

It is designed for that. Complete the site, emirate and inspector fields, work through the walk-round, then export the PDF so the record carries the date, the inspector name and the standard reference behind every check. File it with your third-party examination certificates and operator competency records.
