Warehouse Health and Safety Compliance Audit
Use this warehouse health and safety and compliance audit checklist to evaluate risks and verify operational compliance across your site. Review fire safety systems and signage, emergency plans and evacuation drills, first aid resources, and weekly checks. Inspect racking for damage, load signage, pins and floor bolts, and ensure safe loading and housekeeping in aisles and docks. Verify forklift and material handling equipment certification, daily and weekly equipment checks, and staff induction and manual handling training. Assess building security including CCTV, access control, visitor logging, alarms, and lighting. Confirm electrical and statutory testing such as PAT, fixed wire testing, thermal imaging, and LOLER inspections. Check spill kits, waste and WEEE storage, yard tidiness, permits to work, fall protection and pallet gates, and record keeping for audits and corrective actions.

Weekly Safety Walk Checklist
This weekly safety walk checklist helps teams conduct consistent facility inspections and drive corrective actions. It covers exterior areas and emergency exits, walking and working surfaces, warehouse conditions (pallets, forklifts, storage, fire extinguishers), first aid and eyewash access, and environmental, fire, electrical, and ventilation hazards. Use it to identify trip hazards, verify lighting and signage, check housekeeping, confirm equipment is maintained, and document issues with notes and photos. Assign a safety team, schedule a recurring walk, capture findings, and track resolution to improve compliance and reduce incidents across manufacturing facilities and warehouses.

Electrical Safety Walk Checklist
This electrical safety walk checklist helps managers and EHS leaders observe work in progress and improve safety in manufacturing environments. It covers housekeeping, fall protection, ladders and line roll procedures, proper use of PPE, and key electrical controls including cord and tool condition, panel labeling and covers, battery charger storage, and LOTO compliance. Additional sections address hazard communication, tools and equipment safeguards, training and authorization for hoists and forklifts, safe body mechanics and material handling, and emergency preparedness with accessible exits, fire extinguishers, and eyewash stations. A brief team member interview confirms awareness of weekly safety topics, evacuation process, and daily hazards. Capture photos, add corrective actions, and record approvals to complete the inspection.
