Conduct a structured Safety Walk and Talk Audit to engage operators, review high risk activities, and evaluate site conditions. This checklist covers housekeeping, machine guarding, lockout tagout, pedestrian and vehicle routes, ergonomics, chemical handling, PPE, first aid and emergency equipment, and contractor permits. Leaders rate observations, speak with workers about risks and improvements, and record examples of safe practices. Use findings to prioritize corrective actions and track continuous improvement across production areas and logistics.
