HOW SAFETY FORMS AND CHECKLISTS SHOULD BE USED
A completed safety form should be more than paperwork. Effective safety documentation helps identify hazards, communicate expectations, assign responsibility, document decisions, and verify that corrective actions have been completed.
Inspection checklists should reflect the workplace, equipment, task, or operation being evaluated. When an inspection identifies an unsafe condition, the hazard should be documented and corrected promptly. Conditions presenting an immediate danger should be controlled before work continues.
Safety audits should evaluate not only physical workplace conditions but also whether applicable written programs, procedures, training, inspections, records, and corrective-action systems are being effectively implemented.
Job Safety Analysis forms should be completed with input from employees familiar with the work whenever practical. The job should be divided into logical steps, hazards identified for each step, and appropriate controls established before work begins.
Incident investigation forms should help determine what happened and why. Investigations should look beyond the immediate event to identify contributing and underlying causes so effective corrective actions can be implemented.
Equipment inspection forms should be used together with applicable manufacturer instructions, company procedures, and regulatory inspection requirements. A generic inspection checklist should be expanded or modified when equipment-specific criteria are necessary.
CUSTOMIZE SAFETY FORMS FOR YOUR WORKPLACE
No generic safety form can address every workplace, piece of equipment, or operation. Employers should review forms and checklists before use and modify them when necessary to reflect:
- The company’s operations and work activities
- Workplace and jobsite hazards
- Equipment and machinery being used
- Employee responsibilities
- Applicable Federal OSHA or state-plan requirements
- Customer, contractor, or facility requirements
- Site-specific procedures
- Manufacturer instructions
- Company safety policies and programs
- Required inspection frequencies
- Required competent or qualified persons
- Record-retention requirements
A safety form or checklist should not be used as a substitute for a required written safety program, employee training, hazard assessment, competent-person inspection, manufacturer-required inspection, permit, certification, or other regulatory requirement.
NEED MORE THAN INDIVIDUAL SAFETY FORMS?
Safety forms and checklists are important tools, but they are only one part of an effective workplace safety program. If your company needs a more complete solution, we provide customizable safety manuals organized around your industry, operations, hazards, equipment, and safety requirements.
Our safety manuals combine applicable written safety programs, policies, procedures, employee responsibilities, training requirements, inspections, forms, and related documentation into one organized manual. Manuals are available for construction, manufacturing and industrial operations, transportation and mobile operations, healthcare, laboratories, commercial and service businesses, and other industries.
