This general safety audit checklist helps teams evaluate manufacturing and office areas for compliance and housekeeping. It covers cleanliness and material storage, PPE signage and use, MSDS access, and appropriate footwear. Facilities checks include labeled electrical panels with 36-inch clearance, outlet labeling, trip hazards, leaks, and waste management. Emergency preparedness covers clear, marked exits with 28-inch routes, fire extinguishers (visible and inspected monthly), eyewash/shower availability, secured racks and shelving, and stocked first aid kits. Hazardous materials controls verify labeling, proper containers and sealing, flammable storage away from ignition, rag containers covered, and MSDS availability. Equipment and machinery checks include guarding, accessible emergency stops, good electrical cords and air hoses, and orderly storage to remove unnecessary items.
