This warehouse safety project template helps assess and improve safety across warehouse operations. It covers workplace transport and forklift use, including driver authorization, suitability and supervision, daily checks, and LOLER certification. It reviews refueling controls, speed limits, horn use, safe lifting and transfers, and pedestrian segregation with crossings, signage, barriers, and high-visibility PPE. The checklist also evaluates delivery and dispatch processes, banksman presence and training, load stability, and compatibility of vehicles. Manual handling activities and training are reviewed, along with storage racking integrity, safe loading signage, floor fixings, pallet suitability, beam locks, upright protection, and inspection schedules.

Raw Materials Warehouse Inspection

This warehouse inspection template helps teams assess the raw materials warehouse for safety, compliance, and operational standards. It covers racking integrity to SEMA guidance, correct stacking and SWL signage, locking pins and floor fixings, and upright guards. It verifies FLT operations including licenses, pre-start checks, horns at blind spots, seat belts, segregation, and banksman controls. Housekeeping items address slips, trips and falls. Fire and emergency readiness checks include exits, maps, extinguishers, tags, and warden identification. People and behavior items confirm PPE use, footwear, procedures, and pedestrian route use. Environmental and chemical controls review SDS availability, spill kits, eyewash, waste segregation, and yard practices such as bunding, IBC locks, stillage stacking, speed limits, and vehicle–pedestrian separation. The checklist concludes with ratings for warehouse and yard standards and signatures.
