Site Safety Inspection Template

A site safety inspection checklist for a structured walk round of the workplace. It works through walkways and working surfaces, lighting, dust and dirt, welfare and sanitation, spill control and more, with a satisfactory marker against each so issues are recorded and actioned.

Proactive monitoring through inspections is part of managing health and safety and is expected under the performance evaluation requirements of ISO 45001. This checklist gives you a repeatable inspection record and can be adapted to your own site.

Three Versions in One Download

This product includes three versions so you can match the depth of inspection to the site:

• F-HS8 (V1) - the core inspection sheet
• F-HS8 V2 - an alternative layout
• F-HS8 V3 - a fuller version with detailed prompts and notes
• Use whichever suits, from a quick checklist to a detailed assessment

Built for ISO 45001 Monitoring

The checklist supports the operational control and performance evaluation requirements of ISO 45001 (clauses 8.1 and 9.1):

• Walkways and working surfaces checked for cleanliness, dryness and obstructions
• Lighting, ventilation, dust and dirt removal assessed
• Welfare and sanitation facilities reviewed
• Spill control and equipment maintenance checked, each with a satisfactory marker

What's Included in this Site Safety Inspection

The form is organised by area for a structured walk round:

• Header - location, completed by and date
• Inspection sections - walkways and surfaces, lighting, dust and dirt, welfare and sanitation, spill control and more, each with a satisfactory Y / N and space for actions
• Actions - anything found that needs to be put right
