10+

This Safety Walk inspection checklist helps assess workplace safety across industrial and warehouse environments. It covers emergency readiness including fire extinguishers, hydrants, first aid kits, and updated procedures with designated responders. It reviews machine and equipment safety, forklift devices and use, housekeeping, circulation routes, racking and storage, and electrical integrity. It checks signage for risks, prohibitions, emergency information, and floor markings. It verifies PPE availability, correct use, condition, and storage. Chemical management includes labeling, SDS availability, storage and containment, and ventilation. Behavioral observations address seatbelt use, work at height, guarding of moving parts, and no‑smoking compliance, plus contractor and loading activities. Concluding notes, comments, and compliance ratings help identify issues, document findings, and drive corrective actions.
