This checklist is to create awareness of what to look for in equipment, product and facilities. Anyone can take this list and complete a safety audit for assessment. This ensures we view all safety issues through different eyes. It’s an easy to use … Yes No Remarks Not Applicable type layout which encourages the safety auditor to look for general safety issues, but doesn’t limit the safety auditor to add "other" issues, comments or relevant information.
It’s in two (2) parts – Equipment and Facilities. Always consider and read each part and tick the appropriate section and comment where necessary.
