This OSHA housekeeping checklist is for safety managers and compliance officers who need to ensure their facilities meet OSHA’s strict housekeeping standards. The template covers all key inspection points from OSHA 1910.22 and 1926.25, including floor conditions, walkway clearance, waste disposal practices, and storage safety.

Rather than relying on paper forms that get lost or damaged, you can conduct inspections on your mobile device, instantly assign corrective actions, and generate compliance reports. With workplace housekeeping violations ranking among OSHA’s top 10 most frequently cited standards according to the National Safety Council, this digital tool provides the structure needed to maintain compliance.
