Safety Gemba Walk Checklist

This Safety Gemba Walk checklist supports manufacturing leaders during plant visits to assess and improve workplace safety. It guides users to review aisle and doorway clearance, use of dock boards during loading and unloading, securing trucks and trailers, authorization for welding and hot work, safe storage of gas cylinders, machine guards on grinders and saws, ladder condition, use of protective goggles or face shields, proper anchoring of equipment, and compliance with lockout tagout. It also checks fire extinguisher access, exit signage and lighting, and unobstructed egress. Designed for quarterly site visits, the checklist helps teams identify hazards, verify controls, and strengthen safety culture across manufacturing operations.
