Here is a 20-line safety check list to perform before conducting preventative maintenance during a night shift:
Verify LOTO (Lockout/Tagout): Ensure all energy sources are isolated, locked, and tagged.
Verify Zero Energy State: Test to confirm equipment is completely de-energized (electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic).
Conduct Toolbox Talk: Review the night’s maintenance plan and hazards with the team.
Check Lighting Levels: Ensure sufficient portable and fixed lighting is present (minimum 108 lux for task areas).
Wear High-Visibility Gear: Confirm all personnel are wearing reflective vests/clothing.
PPE Inspection: Ensure hard hats, safety shoes, goggles, and gloves are worn and intact.
Identify Access/Egress: Check that walkaways are clear and emergency exits are unobstructed.
Clear Tripping Hazards: Clean up spills, scattered materials, and cables in work areas.
Check Machine Guarding: Ensure guards are in place or temporary safety barriers are installed.
Inspect Ladders/Platforms: Verify stability and safety of elevated work platforms.
Review MSDS: Check Safety Data Sheets for any chemicals used during cleaning/servicing.
Set Up Barriers: Use barricades, cones, or tape to segregate the work zone from traffic.
Check First Aid Kits: Verify accessibility of first aid boxes and emergency eyewash stations.
Confirm Emergency Communication: Check that two-way radios or phones are functional.
Fatigue Assessment: Ensure team members are awake, alert, and fit for duty.
Fire Safety Check: Ensure fire extinguishers are visible, accessible, and not expired.
Inspect Tools: Check power tools for frayed cords or damage before starting.
Verify Ventilation: Confirm adequate air circulation, especially when using solvents.
Establish Buddy System: Assign partners for tasks, particularly in remote areas.
Notify Supervisor: Confirm the "Permission to Work" permit is active and signed off
