Walking and Working Surfaces Safety Audit
Use this checklist to assess walking and working surfaces across your facility. Verify stairways, ladders, handrails, guardrails, and floor openings are safe and compliant. Check for non slip surfaces, correct cable management, secured mats, clear emergency exits, and proper storage to remove trip hazards. Confirm floors are clean and dry and aisles allow safe passage. Document findings to improve housekeeping and reduce slip, trip, and fall risks.
