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?
