What checks need to be carried out to make sure that tools and equipment are safe and in working order before starting the job?

Answer:
A visual check, looking for damage; If it is a spanner it may be cracked and would be obviously dangerous to use; a fork lift truck may have unreported damage to a hydraulic pipe making it dangerous to use but could not be that obvious to spot. Thorough checks should be made of all tools and equipment before starting and a controlled function test would be advisable.
