Primary Recycling Yard Safety Audit

Use this health and safety audit for primary recycling yards to inspect housekeeping across the yard and picking lines; compliance of waste bays and storage; clear walkways and stairways; secure guarding, isolation during maintenance, and safe mobile plant practices. Verify permits for non-routine work and contractor sign-in via the visIT system. Check PPE signage and condition, including air-fed masks for Picking Line 1, and ensure records are maintained. Review fire safety: extinguisher checks, monthly fire marshal audits, clear exits, weekly alarm tests, and accessible call points. Confirm daily yard and machine checks, document machines and operators, and review training: toolbox talks, in-date risk assessments, signatures, up-to-date training records, and outstanding tasks in Microsoft Planner.
