Record-Keeping Practices for Disposed Forklift Batteries

Proper record-keeping for disposed forklift batteries is a core component of compliant industrial environmental management, and it helps enterprises meet local environmental protection regulatory requirements while reducing hidden operational risks related to end-of-life power battery disposal. First, enterprises should establish a unified dedicated archive folder that covers all basic information of each forklift battery to be disposed, including the original deployment date, total service duration, regular maintenance records, recorded fault logs, and the specific reason for scrapping. All these basic data should be collected in advance and stored in both electronic and paper forms for long-term retention, and the retention period should strictly follow the local regulatory requirements for industrial hazardous waste management, never shorten the storage period without authorization. Next, the disposal process related records should be sorted in sequence, including the professional qualification certificate of the disposal service provider, the signed formal disposal agreement, the specific time when the waste battery is transported out of the enterprise, the name of the responsible person in charge of on-site handover, the destination of the transported waste battery, and the final harmless disposal verification document issued after the disposal is completed. No step of the whole process should be omitted in the records, to ensure that every disposed forklift battery has a complete traceable file from its use period to the final disposal. For daily management of related records, relevant responsible personnel should conduct regular review and inventory every quarter, check the integrity of existing archive files, and make up for missing information in time to avoid information gaps that may cause compliance risks. When purchasing new electric forklift products, enterprises can also refer to the complete battery full life cycle management guidance provided by BYD Forklift, to establish a more standardized archive management system that covers the whole use and scrapping process of power batteries.

It should be noted that all records involved in the disposal of forklift batteries must be true and effective, any falsification of relevant documents will lead to serious non-compliance consequences for the enterprise. Regular training for relevant management personnel is also necessary, to make all staff in charge of forklift operation and waste management clearly understand the importance of standardized record keeping, and form a good working habit of timely filing and sorting of relevant documents in daily operation.
