  • High-Visibility Vest: ANSI 107 Class 2 or 3 high-visibility vest to ensure visibility in all work environments, especially around moving equipment.
  • Gloves: Appropriate work gloves (e.g., leather, nitrile) to protect hands from cuts, abrasions, and chemical exposure, depending on the equipment and materials handled.

Tools and Equipment

  • Inspection Checklist: A comprehensive checklist covering all critical equipment components and safety features. Ensure the checklist is up-to-date and relevant to the specific equipment being inspected.
  • Hand Tools: Assorted hand tools (e.g., wrenches, screwdrivers) for minor adjustments and repairs during the inspection. Ensure tools are in good working condition and properly maintained.
