Aerial lifts are everywhere—scissor lifts, boom lifts, vertical mast lifts. But what most companies don’t know is that there’s already a ready-to-use, professionally developed inspection checklist book designed just for them.

You don’t need to create your own forms. You don’t need to worry about compliance gaps. You don’t need to start from scratch.

The Checker’s Aerial Work Platform Inspection Book is purpose-built to help you meet Canadian safety regulations, follow CSA standards, and keep your workers safe. It’s fast, field-ready, and proven. And it exists because inspecting aerial platforms is smart (and required by law).

Why Aerial Lift Inspections Are Non-Negotiable

Inspections are often seen as paperwork. But for aerial lifts, proper maintenance is the difference between safe operation and serious injury. These machines are heavy, complex, and designed to carry people far off the ground. A single oversight can result in a fall, a tip-over, or a crush incident.

Protecting Workers from Serious Hazards

Inspections help prevent the most common risks:

• - Sudden mechanical failure

• - Incorrect tire pressure or worn treads

• - Faulty emergency controls

• - Unstable platform setup

• - Contact with overhead power lines

One missed issue can be the cause of a tragic accident. Daily inspections help catch problems before they become dangerous.

Meeting Legal Requirements

Across Canada, occupational health and safety regulations require:

• - A daily inspection by a trained operator

• - More frequent inspections if the equipment has been idle for a period

• - An annual inspection and certification by a professional engineer for specific types of lifts

These are not guidelines. They are obligations under the law. Without proper documentation, you may face penalties, fines, or worse—legal liability following an incident.

Inspections That Meet the Standard and Save You Time

You could create your own checklist. You could guess what to include. Or you could use a system that’s already trusted by hundreds of safety teams across the country.
