When answering this question, emphasize your routine and systematic approach to equipment inspection and maintenance. Mention specific steps you take, such as checking fluid levels, inspecting tires and tracks, testing controls, and ensuring all safety features are operational. Provide examples from your past experience where your diligence in equipment checks prevented potential issues or enhanced operational efficiency. For instance, you might say:
"Before using any equipment, I perform a thorough inspection that includes checking the oil and hydraulic fluid levels, inspecting the tires or tracks for wear and tear, and testing all controls and safety features. For example, in my previous role at XYZ Mining, I identified a hydraulic leak during a routine check, which allowed us to fix the issue before it caused any downtime or safety hazards."
