Galley Audit Checklist

This galley audit checklist supports maritime crews in assessing food safety, sanitation, and operational compliance across shipboard kitchens. It covers daily and weekly cleaning, sanitation logs, FIFO stock control, temperature monitoring, thawing and reheating standards, cross‑contamination prevention, and documentation. It also includes chemical handling and SDS labeling, personal hygiene and PPE, equipment maintenance, waste segregation and MARPOL‑aligned food waste disposal, and job hazard analysis. Additional sections address galley safety practices, knife handling, firefighting equipment readiness, and administrative tasks such as certifications, logs, requisitions, and shift records. Use this template to standardize inspections, correct issues quickly, and maintain safe, compliant meal service at sea.
