Safety tests
Periodic safety inspection of the
industrial truck
Periodic safety inspections and safety
inspections after unusual incidents
The operating company
must ensure that
the industrial truck is c
hecked by a specialist

lowing unusual
incidents.
As part of this inspection, a complete check of
the technical condition of the industrial truck
must be performed with regard to accident
safety. Furthermore, the industrial truck must
be thoroughly checked for damage that could
have been caused by improper use. A test log
must be created. The results of the inspection
must be retained at least until a further two
inspections have been carried out.
The inspection date is indicated by an adhe-
sive label on the industrial truck.
