Train your team to spot faults before they become failures and embed inspection habits that protect people, products, and equipment.
This immersive experience drills users in conducting thorough pre-start checks across multiple forklifts in varying conditions. It’s designed to close a critical gap in traditional licensing by reinforcing practical inspection skills—ideal for warehouses, logistics, and high-volume forklift operations.
Forklifts are essential, but overlooked faults and wear are among the most common causes of workplace accidents.
Participants engage in simulated inspections where they must:
- Interact with forklifts in a range of wear-and-tear conditions.
- Conduct full internal and external pre-start checks.
- Identify mechanical and safety faults that affect performance.
- Complete two forklift inspections under timed, exam-style conditions.
This hands-on training ensures operators don’t just drive safely, they start safe. It builds daily readiness, reinforces duty-of-care, and strengthens overall site safety culture.

Understand the Purpose and Process of Pre-Start Inspections:
- Learn the importance of a forklift inspection prior to each shift.
- Follow correct reporting protocols for faults (e.g. tagging out unsafe equipment).
Use a Digital Checklist and Report Faults:
- Navigate a virtual tablet to complete a structured checklist.
- Take photos to report faults using the tablet’s camera feature.
A. External Inspection:
- Tyres & wheels (e.g. damage, pressure)
- Forks, mast, load backrest
- Underbody leaks
- Hydraulics (hoses, cylinders, fluid leaks)
- Decals & data plates
- Overall machine condition (lights, LPG bottle, guards)
B. Engine Inspection:
- Fluid levels (engine, hydraulic, brake, coolant)
- Battery (damage, corrosion, secure connection)
- General engine condition (hoses, fan belts, leaks)
C. Internal Inspection:
- Levers, controls, gauges
- FOPS (Fall-On Protection Structure)
- Seat and seatbelt integrity
- Logbook and operator manual
- Mirrors (clean, adjusted, not broken)
- Cabin cleanliness and safety (no obstructions or loose tools)
Make Safety Decisions Based on Findings:
- Decide whether to mark an item safe or report a fault.
- Recognize the impact of missed faults (e.g. brake obstructions or oil leaks leading to equipment failure).
A. Tutorial Phase
- Introduces the tablet, checklist system, and fault reporting through guided interaction.
B. Discovery Phase
- Learners answer knowledge-based questions to establish understanding
- Pre-start procedures
- Fluid types
- Safe working load identification
C. Instructional Phase
- Learner is walked through a full forklift inspection
- Pre-start procedures
- Systematic review of external, engine, and internal components.
- Each fault is highlighted and discussed in detail.
D. Practice Phase
- Users perform inspections on multiple forklifts with varying faults.
- Instructor provides feedback for correct or incorrect fault detection.
E. Exam Phase
- Independent assessment: users inspect two forklifts without guidance.
- Check all items
- Report faults with evidence
- Accurately mark safe components
F. Results and Feedback
- Tablet-based results display what the learner got right, wrong, and missed.
- Reinforces safety awareness and inspection accuracy.

CONTACT USWhat is Custom VR Builds?
It’s a service where Next World creates a fully tailored VR-training solution for your company — a custom course built to meet your industry-specific requirements rather than using a generic off-the-shelf VR module.
How does the custom-build process work?
The process typically follows these phases: you provide training documentation, subject-matter experts get involved, learning outcomes are identified, storyboard is created, virtual assets are modeled, testing and quality assurance, and finally deployment in your environment.
What type of training scenarios can be built?
You can build VR scenarios for hazard awareness, safe-practice with tools and equipment, practicing safety procedures step-by-step, and even testing learner’s knowledge in simulated hazardous situations — as if in real life but safe.
Is custom VR suitable for refresher training as well?
Yes — custom VR builds can be used for refresher/training-update courses to efficiently refresh skills and knowledge without re-arranging real equipment or putting people at risk.
What learning methodology does custom VR follow?
Next World suggests a blended approach: combining face-to-face, practical and immersive training methods, which helps improve retention, practical competence, and reduces incidents.
