This 5S Audit Checklist helps supervisors and plant managers evaluate workplace organization and safety using the five pillars of 5S: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Conduct monthly or quarterly audits to verify that only required tools, equipment, and materials are present, storage and labeling are clear, floors and aisles are marked, PPE and emergency equipment are accessible, and cleaning schedules are followed. The checklist supports ergonomic setup, preventive maintenance, waste removal, and documentation of previous audit results. Capture notes, photos, and evidence, assign corrective actions with owners, priorities, and due dates, and track completion to drive continuous improvement across work areas.
