Monthly Met Lab Inspection Checklist

This monthly Met Lab inspection checklist helps teams audit key areas across metallurgical laboratory operations. It covers housekeeping, waste and under bench storage, walkways and floors, bench space, hazardous materials identification and storage with MSDS access, and flammable goods cabinet controls. The checklist guides reviews of lighting levels, energy use, electrical equipment and cords, and emergency readiness including first aid awareness, muster point signage, emergency procedures, telephones or radios, and updated contact lists. Dedicated sections address FP and dried sample process rooms, freezer maintenance, storage rooms and containers, and tools storage. Site surrounds include water and dust management, switchboards, fire extinguishers, eyewash and safety showers, and signage. A final section captures substandard practices and general comments to sustain 5S.
