This 6S Lean Safety Checklist helps teams assess workplace organization and safety across the 5S pillars—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—plus risk assessment. Inspect areas for clutter, labeling, demarcation, and color coding. Verify cleaning schedules and standards, then review management support and training to sustain 5S. Capture red-tag items and photos, log hazards encountered during job steps (e.g., chemical, electrical, ergonomics, falls, mechanical, noise, radiation, temperature, visibility, weather), and rate risk before controls. Record engineering, administrative, and PPE measures, add recommendations, assign an overall rating, and sign off.
