EHS Physical Conditions Audit Checklist
This EHS physical conditions audit checklist supports plant inspections across manufacturing sites. It guides auditors through key categories, including machinery and equipment cleanliness and guarding, electrical safety and clearances, material handling equipment and slings, emergency equipment readiness, and storage of raw materials, chemicals, drums, and compressed gases. It also covers tools and power tools, walking-working surfaces, stairs, ladders, and platforms, and building elements such as exits, emergency lighting, piping, and interior and exterior housekeeping. Environmental compliance is addressed with spill prevention and containment, waste management, and water/air controls, alongside energy awareness checks. Work practices emphasize lockout/tagout, confined space, PPE compliance, crane operations, mobile equipment, and pedestrian safety. Use this checklist to identify substandard conditions, prioritize corrective actions, and improve safety performance.

Gemba Walk Checklist
This Gemba Walk checklist helps leaders and supervisors conduct focused observations on the production floor to support Lean and continuous improvement. Use it to verify PPE use, review HVAC conditions, check safety showers and eyewash stations, confirm clear emergency exits and walkways, and assess electrical safety including clearances, GFCI needs, and enclosure knockouts. Inspect material storage and flammable cabinets, look for spills or leaks, evaluate overall fit and finish, examine walking and working surfaces, and confirm fire extinguishers are inspected and accessible. Validate lockout/tagout labeling, check door and window condition and operation, and ensure the standard work area is clean, organized, and unobstructed. Record observations and follow up with corrective actions to improve safety, quality, and efficiency.
