Template: The daily safety inspection at the workplace

A fixed routine that catches risks before they become injuries

A short fixed round before you start catches most problems while they're still small. Adapt it to your workplace — but always have one.

§Tools and machines

  • 01Are the knives sharp, whole and stored safely out of the way?
  • 02Are guards and emergency stops on machines in order?
  • 03Are you trained in the machines you need to use today?

§Hygiene and temperature

  • 01Are refrigeration and freezing at the right temperature?
  • 02Is it clean, and are raw and prepared items kept separate?
  • 03Has the self-monitoring been conducted as it should be?

§Body and floor

  • 01Is the floor dry and non-slip where you work?
  • 02Is working height adjusted so you don't strain your back and shoulders?
  • 03Do you have the protective equipment the task requires?
