Milk Source Intake Safety Inspection
Use this Milk Source Intake Safety Inspection to assess safety and compliance in dairy receiving areas. The checklist covers slip, trip, and fall hazards; clear walkways; safety chains; emergency exits and lighting; housekeeping; PPE availability and condition; legible chemical labels; door security; proper lighting; fire extinguishers; pump guards; and required 36 inch clearance at electrical panels. Document issues, assign corrective actions, and verify controls to maintain a safe intake bay for drivers and staff.
