This OSHA safety audit checklist offers a comprehensive evaluation system for workplace safety standards.

When conducting your safety audits, you can quickly identify areas needing improvement while documenting your compliance efforts.

According to OSHA data, there are approximately 2.4 worker injuries and illnesses per 100 workers—a rate that proper safety audits can help reduce. By implementing this checklist, you can avoid common compliance pitfalls and maintain a safer workplace.

Frequently asked questions

How should you prepare employees before conducting an OSHA safety audit?

Communicate the audit’s purpose as improvement rather than fault-finding. Provide advance notice to department heads, but consider some unannounced components to observe normal operations. It’s also crucial to train employees on safety standards relevant to their work areas and encourage their participation in identifying hazards. Emphasize that audits protect everyone’s wellbeing.

What should you do if the OSHA safety audit reveals serious compliance issues?

Address imminent dangers immediately by stopping operations if necessary. Document the issues thoroughly with photos and descriptions. Develop a formal corrective action plan with specific responsibilities and timelines. Consider consulting a safety professional for complex issues. Being proactive about corrections demonstrates good faith compliance efforts if OSHA conducts an inspection.

How can you ensure corrective actions identified in the audit are actually completed?

Lumiform allows you to set up a tracking system that assigns responsibility for each corrective action with clear deadlines. Afterwards, schedule follow-up inspections to verify completion and effectiveness. It’s possible to set up Lumiform to automatically remind responsible parties of approaching deadlines and escalate overdue items to management to ensure accountability.
