Every driven and towed vehicle type now has two checklists in the dropdown:

Check (graded) — a quick pre-use or routine inspection covering broad condition areas (lights, tyres, fluid levels, bodywork, load security, safety equipment). A few minutes at the start of a shift.

Sweep (per-item) — a detailed walk-around covering every physical item in order, with an OK / N/A / fault response. Only a fault raises a defect, keeping the record clean. Built for a thorough weekly or periodic check.

Both are live for 23 vehicle and plant types — cars, vans, tippers, flatbeds, minibuses, tractors, mowers, street sweepers, forklifts, cherry pickers, golf buggies, and boats among them. Both record Mileage or Engine Hours as a usage reading against the task automatically, and both are linked to the applicable regulations (MOT legislation, LOLER, PUWER, the Boat Safety Scheme, and vehicle-specific BS/EN standards) based on type.

These new checklists replace the older vehicle checklists — Vehicle Pre-Use Inspection, Vehicle Operational Inspection, and Vehicle Annual Compliance — which predate this framework and don't have regulations linked. We'll retire those gradually rather than switch them off overnight: they stay in the dropdown for now so nothing changes mid-routine, and we'll help you move across to the new Check and Sweep checklists at your own pace. There's nothing you need to do today.
