About the EHS internal audit checklist

If you’re managing EHS (Environmental, Health, and Safety), chances are you’re regularly responsible for internal audits. An EHS internal audit checklist helps you cut through the noise, standardize your assessments, and keep compliance from slipping through the cracks. Use this checklist template to guide consistent audits across teams, flag non-conformities early, and make it easier to report on your processes.

Why you should use the EHS internal audit checklist

Using this checklist helps you keep your audits focused, consistent, and actionable, with no more missed steps or scattered notes. You save time during inspections and spend less effort piecing together findings afterward.

The template gives you an organized overview of your EHS processes so you can quickly spot compliance gaps and act on them. You can track what’s working, what needs fixing, and where to follow up—all in one place.

Make the most of your audit process by using a checklist to assign responsibilities, set review cycles, and collect real data. Whether you manage a single site or multiple locations, this tool allows you to streamline documentation and stay ready for internal reviews or external inspections.

How to use the EHS internal audit checklist

Internal audits reveal how well your EHS processes actually work in the field. Here’s how to use the EHS audit checklist effectively from day one:

  1. Customize the checklist to match your operations. Start by editing the template in the Lumiform app. Add location-specific questions, remove irrelevant sections, and tailor the language to your industry. A warehouse team won’t need the same focus as a construction crew.
  2. Assign the checklist to a responsible person. Whether it’s a site manager or safety officer, assign the form to one person for accountability. They’ll complete the checklist during the audit and can include notes, photos, or signatures as needed.
  3. Use on-site via mobile or tablet. Conduct the audit directly in the app, on location. The digital format helps you document findings in real-time and upload supporting evidence, like photos of non-compliant areas or missing signage.
  4. Log issues and create follow-up actions. If you found something out of line, flag it directly in the form and create a corrective task with a due date and owner. This turns your audit from a checklist into a real action driver.
  5. Review audit results and share insights. After submission, access all data in the dashboard. Use the built-in analytics to spot trends, identify recurring issues, and make better safety decisions across the team or multiple sites.

Frequently asked questions

What should you include in an internal EHS audit report?

An internal EHS audit report should go beyond a checklist. Include a summary of findings, key risks identified, photographic evidence (where relevant), root cause analysis for any non-conformities, and action items with assigned owners and deadlines. It’s also good practice to reference previous audits to show what’s improved or hasn’t.

Who is responsible for conducting EHS internal audits?

Typically, someone with EHS training or compliance oversight, like a safety manager or internal auditor, handles these audits. It’s best if they’re not directly responsible for the process being audited. That adds an extra layer of objectivity, especially when you’re reviewing areas like hazardous material storage or incident reporting.

How do I prepare my team for an internal audit?

Start by letting them know what the audit will cover and why it’s happening. Walk them through the checklist format, clarify expectations, and share any documentation they might need. You’ll get better cooperation and more accurate results when everyone understands that the goal is improvement, not fault-finding.
