Creating a Safer Workplace: How to Use a Gemba Walk Template


The Safety Gemba Walk Template can be used to ensure that the workplace is safe and compliant with any applicable safety regulations of your business. The template typically includes sections for assessing the physical environment of the workplace, evaluating the safety equipment, and documenting any safety issues or safety concerns that have been identified. It can also include sections for interviewing personnel, documenting safety training and reviewing safety policies.


Lumiform’s customizable template can be used to evaluate a variety of different work environments and be tailored to the specific needs of the workplace. Gemba walks are an effective way of monitoring and assessing safety risks in the workplace and bringing them to the attention of management. A safety gemba walk template gives organizations the ability to create a structured process for conducting a safety gemba walk, as well as providing an organized and consistent structure for collecting and reporting safety data.

Please note that this checklist template is a hypothetical appuses-hero example and provides only standard information. The template does not aim to replace, among other things, workplace, health and safety advice, medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, or any other applicable law. You should seek your professional advice to determine whether the use of such a checklist is appropriate in your workplace or jurisdiction.
