How to fill it out and keep it. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader (free) or a desktop browser like Chrome or Edge, then use that program's own Save or Download button, not just closing the tab, so your entries are kept in the saved copy. On a phone, most PDF apps will let you view the form but not type into it - fill it out on a computer, or print it and use a pen.

Why crews use it
- Rated Capacity and the Stop Button get their own named line, so neither is left to "general condition" the way a generic equipment checklist would treat them
- A single Hour Meter Reading field ties each inspection to the unit's actual usage, not just a calendar date
- The same Deficiency/Corrective Action/Person Responsible/Target Date/Completion Date table used across this line keeps aerial platform records consistent with every other piece of mobile equipment in the fleet
- Supports daily or pre-use aerial work platform inspection requirements under provincial OHS legislation and gives COR/SECOR auditors dated, signed evidence of a pre-use check
Built for
- Operators and supervisors running boom lifts, scissor lifts, or other aerial work platforms on site
- Companies renting aerial equipment who need to document a pre-use check regardless of who owns the unit
- Companies assembling COR/SECOR audit evidence for aerial equipment inspection
Why it matters
An aerial work platform fails differently than a forklift or a crane - a missed fall-protection anchor point or a guardrail that doesn't latch is not something a generic equipment checklist is built to catch, because it's not asking the aerial-specific questions in the first place. A checklist built for this equipment, not adapted from one built for something else, is what makes the pre-use check actually mean something before a worker goes up in the platform.

Common questions
Before you buy
What people ask us about the Aerial Work Platform Inspection Checklist (Editable Word Doc).
What is the Aerial Work Platform Inspection Checklist (Editable Word Doc) used for?
A pre-use inspection built specifically for aerial work platforms - fluid levels and controls through to the guardrail system and fall protection - delivered as a real fillable PDF, not a photocopied checklist. Who uses it: Operators and supervisors running boom lifts, scissor lifts, or other aerial work platforms on site; Companies renting aerial equipment who need to document a pre-use check regardless of who owns the unit; Companies assembling COR/SECOR audit evidence for aerial equipment inspection.
Can we fill it in on a computer, or is it print-only?
Both. It is a fillable PDF, so every field can be typed into on a laptop or tablet and saved, or you can print it blank and fill it in by hand. Your company logo is added at no extra charge.
Does using this form make us compliant?
No single form makes a company compliant. A form is the evidence half of a safety program - it records that something was checked and by whom. It carries weight at audit time when the written program behind it says the check is required and how often. If that program does not exist yet, that is the part we write.
When do I get it?
Immediately after checkout as a download, and you can re-download it any time from your purchases page. Print or fill in as many copies as your own crews need.
From the team that wrote it
These forms come from a bigger program.
Inspection and competency forms are the evidence half of a safety program. If the program they belong to does not exist yet, or has not been updated in a few years, that is the part we write.
