Get the Most Out of Them

Print and Walk Your Facility

The inspection readiness checklist is designed to be walked through on-site. Bring it with you and check items physically โ€” not from memory.

Keep Signed Copies on File

The PPE hazard assessment, LOTO audit, and new employee orientation forms all include signature blocks. A signed, dated copy in the file is documentation OSHA can review.

Run the Forklift Log Daily

The forklift inspection log is built to be used every shift. Keep a stack near the trucks and file completed copies โ€” OSHA inspectors ask for these logs.

Use as a Training Tool

Walking a new supervisor through the inspection readiness checklist is one of the fastest ways to get them up to speed on what OSHA actually looks for.
