What is NOT part of the visual inspection checklist?

Operator training records are typically not included in a visual inspection checklist because such a checklist focuses on the physical condition and safety of the equipment rather than personnel qualifications. Visual inspections are designed to identify immediate safety concerns and ensure that machinery and tools are in good working order. This includes checking control mechanisms, wire rope condition, and ensuring that tires and ground conditions are safe for operation.

While operator training is crucial for safe equipment use, it is generally documented and verified through separate training and certification processes rather than through a physical inspection. The visual inspection checklist's primary purpose is to provide a quick visual assessment of equipment readiness and safety, making it unnecessary to include records of operator training as part of that immediate evaluation process.
