It covers previous assessment actions, general workplace conditions, fire and emergency provisions, PPE usage, manual and mechanical handling practices, and equipment and machinery safety including guards, interlocks, and lockout procedures. The checklist also reviews hazardous substance storage and labeling, housekeeping and lighting, industrial truck operations such as pre-shift checks and charging stations, pedestrian and vehicle pathways, and warehouse storage racks including load ratings and damage checks.
