OSHA Hand and Power Tools Inspection Checklist
by Munir Ahmad, from the Community
Conduct OSHA-compliant inspections of hand and power tools with this structured checklist. Verify tool condition, sharp edges, proper handles, and secure storage. Check guards on grinders and saws, grounding or double insulation, GFCIs on temporary circuits, and protection from rotating parts. Review PPE use, portable fan guards, hoisting equipment ratings, and pneumatic or hydraulic hose integrity. Document findings, add recommendations, and capture inspector name and signature to drive corrective actions and improve site safety.
