Each question needs to be answered as part of a review if the actual situation on the shop floor to ensure the accuracy and applicability of the results. If the are questions regarding specific findings during the audit the auditor must ensure to clarify findings with area management before determining compliance status and adding comments.
SECTION 1: This section contains observations that should be at full compliance at all times. Information such as containers not labeled, forklift inspections not completed, required PPE not on, etc. should be documented in the comments section.
SECTION 2: This section contains observations and areas that need to be reviewed during this audit. Any issues should be documented in the comment area for further discussion with the Value Stream/Department.
SECTION 3: This section should be used to document any potential safety hazards not otherwise listed in sections 1 or 2 that will require further discussions with Value Stream/Department.
