Safety Audit Checklist

Commitment to occupational health and safety is considered an important step toward achieving safe and productive working conditions. A safety audit checklist is a tool that helps evaluating the safety conditions and practices within in any workplace and in accordance with common safety standards and regulations. This tool lists the safety criteria to be met in order to better address compliance gaps and provides opportunities to improve the overall safety conditions.

This safety audit checklist is a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that you can modify to address the specific requirements of your organization. It can easily be modified to include additional checklist items based on your work environment, as this one was specifically designed for manufacturing operations. It is divided into two different sections; one that is designed for operational workplaces in general, and another that is more useful for the manufacturing and construction operations.

Note that you can purchase the Safety Maturity Assessment template to present the audit findings in a radar chart.
