Free Pre-Start and Service Sticker Templates for WA sites
Every shift on a WA civil or mining site should start with a completed pre-start check. This free template covers the standard daily inspection points for excavators, so your operators spend less time on paperwork and more time on the machine.
What Does an Excavator Pre-Start Checklist Need to Cover?
A pre-start checklist for an excavator covers fluid levels, visual inspections of the undercarriage and attachments, safety device checks — reverse cameras, sensors, isolation switches where fitted — and operator sign-off.
The service sticker template is formatted to attach directly to the machine, giving operators and supervisors an immediate reference for the next scheduled service interval.
Why Pre-Start Checks Matter on WA Sites
Pre-start checks aren't optional paperwork. They sit under the general duties in the Work Health and Safety Act 2020 and the Managing Risks of Plant Code of Practice, and most civil and mining principal contractors also write them into site inductions and hire agreements directly.
An excavator that hasn't been pre-started correctly is a liability for the operator, the site, and whoever's name is on the hire agreement.
What This Means on Site
Every excavator we hire out leaves our yard fully serviced and pre-delivery inspected, with documentation to support your site induction.
Keeping that standard up daily on site is the hirer's job once the machine's on the ground — this template is built to make that quick rather than another form to chase at the end of the shift.
