This checklist helps teams conduct a thorough inspection of hazardous chemical handling, storage, and disposal. It covers worker training, availability and use of PPE, awareness of emergency procedures, hygiene practices, and safe handling instructions. The working area section checks ventilation, eyewash and safety showers, housekeeping, egress, spill kits, respirator storage, and clear labeling and condition of containers. Storage requirements include access control, compliant storage rooms and cabinets, accurate inventories, minimum on-site quantities, bunding for liquids, lighting, signage, clear aisles, and appropriate fire extinguishers. Disposal guidelines verify waste labeling, sealed containers, adherence to SOPs for spill cleanup, visible hazardous waste signs, prompt disposal, designated waste storage, and disposal records. Conclude with observations, overall assessment, and improvement actions.
