Purchasing Checklist for Safety and Compliance
by Samuel Giuffre, from the Community
This purchasing checklist helps department managers evaluate health, safety, and environmental risks before approving purchase orders or capital expenditures. Validate supplier specifications, risk assessments, and applicable standards; check guarding, manuals, training, licensing, and PPE for plant and equipment. For chemicals, confirm SDS, labeling, storage, spill response, and waste disposal. Consider workplace and employee monitoring needs and potential environmental impacts. Document consultation, required approvals, and any changes to layout, access, storage, or signage.
