Workplace Health and Safety Audit Checklist

This Workplace Health and Safety Audit Checklist can be used to perform the internal and external audit of an office or any working environment. Do a site walkthrough and determine if the temperature is too hot or too cold. Check the ventilation and lighting systems. Observe if proper housekeeping practices are applied. Evaluate storage and shelving areas to see if materials are stacked properly. All electrical equipment must be free from damages to prevent electrocution or the occurrence of fire. Also assess COSHH and fire precaution measures are if they’re in place. Lastly, outside areas should be clean and free from obstructions. Use iAuditor to document all significant data by capturing photo of the workplace, taking note of hazards identified, and assigning actions to authorized persons for immediate resolution.
