This 6S Department and Area Audit checklist helps teams evaluate workplace organization and safety using the 6S pillars: Sort, Systematic Organization (Set in Order), Shine, Standardize, Sustain, and Safety. It guides auditors through communication boards, employee observations, and a structured walkthrough covering labeling, storage, equipment condition, cleanliness, procedure adherence, and hazard control. Use it to identify deficiencies, document findings, and drive corrective actions for housekeeping, visual management, ISO compliance, PPE, first aid, and emergency access. Ideal for manufacturing and warehouse areas aiming to sustain lean practices and continuous improvement.
