What should be included in an ALRE toolbox check prior to a maintenance task?

• A. Correct wrenches, torque values, calibration tools, PPE, and lockout-tagout devices.
• B. A bottle of water.
• C. Decorative stickers.
• D. Unrelated spare parts.

Answer: (A)

A toolbox check before maintenance focuses on readiness for safe and correct work. You should include the right wrenches for the fasteners you’ll encounter, torque values or a torque spec reference to set tightening limits, calibration tools to verify instrument and wrench accuracy, personal protective equipment to shield you from hazards, and lockout-tagout devices to isolate and control energy sources so the equipment cannot be powered while you work. These elements ensure fasteners are installed correctly, measurements stay accurate, you’re protected, and the maintenance follows safety procedures. Items like a bottle of water, decorative stickers, or unrelated spare parts don’t contribute to performing the task safely or correctly.
