This 5S audit checklist helps manufacturing teams evaluate workplace organization and safety across the five pillars: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Use it to rate exceptions for tools, materials, paperwork, PPE and first aid, equipment storage, labeling, cleaning, leaks, lighting, and safety conditions. Verify standard work, job cycle charts, waste handling, team participation, visual systems, and continuous improvement actions. Capture photos, document findings, assign actions, and track closure after each audit.
