10+

This checklist guides facilities through the safe acceptance and startup of new, altered, or relocated production equipment. It covers machine controls and emergency stops, guarding and interlocks, accessibility for maintenance, lockout tagout and energy isolation, noise assessment, fluids and compressed air, electrical requirements including GFCI and explosion-proof needs, walking and working surfaces, training and manuals, and final performance acceptance. Ideal for printing and finishing lines and other manufacturing assets, it helps verify safety and operational readiness before commercial production.

Safety Assessment Audit
Use this Safety Assessment Audit to identify workplace hazards and strengthen compliance with OSHA 1910 and 1926 requirements. The checklist reviews employer responsibilities, PPE selection and training, machine guarding, hazard communication, respiratory protection and fit testing, hearing conservation, and control of hazardous energy (lockout/tagout). It also covers emergency action and fire prevention plans, walking-working surfaces and fall protection, first aid and eyewash provisions, compressed air and material handling, forklifts and aerial lifts, cranes and rigging, welding and cutting safety, confined spaces, and housekeeping. Ideal for manufacturing and industrial operations, it helps verify documentation, training, inspections, and safe work practices across facilities and jobsites.

Factory Acceptance Test FAT Checklist
Use this Factory Acceptance Test checklist to verify industrial equipment is safe, hygienic, and ready for dispatch. The template guides teams through Health and Safety checks such as guarding, emergency stops, control placement, and clear warnings. Hygiene prompts cover cleanability, water sensitivity, material grades, coatings, and food contact considerations specific to food manufacturing. Operations steps confirm demonstrations with product, agreed test conditions, performance targets, and acceptance decisions aligned to UK regulations. Engineering and Technical checks include availability of documentation and spares, safety circuits and energy isolation, certificates, calibration records, lubricants, and any statutory inspections. Capture defects, agree a remediation timetable with the supplier, and record final sign off across safety, hygiene, technical, engineering, and production. Ideal for commissioning new machinery and validating compliance before site installation.
