Workplace Inspection Checklist

This customizable template is used to conduct general workplace inspections. Regulation dictates that workplace inspections need to occur “regularly” and must be documented. Inspections should be reviewed by the joint health and safety committee during meetings. Hazards identified in the inspection can be fixed by assigning tasks and setting reasonable deadlines for completion.
