What is a Workshop Inspection Checklist?

A Workshop Inspection Checklist is a systematic tool used to assess workshop safety, compliance with safety regulations, and equipment condition. It includes a series of checkpoints designed to ensure that the workshop is a safe and efficient space for employees to carry out their tasks. Regular workshop inspections are crucial to prevent accidents, maintain equipment functionality, and promote a culture of safety.

Key Areas to Inspect in Workshop Safety:
