  • Making Objects Safe or People Safe

  • Risk is About People, not just Objects

Safety Checklists are a great idea as a reminder for people to perform certain tasks or to check certain things or to determine compliance with certain standards and to ensure consistency. Many use them as documentary evidence that they have a system in place to identify and control hazards and risks.

But, they should be used with caution. There are a few things to consider when developing or using checklists or workplace inspection forms. In many of his ARTICLES, Dr Rob Long cautions against developing a check list mentality – rather you should be focusing on people rather than objects.  You do this by talking to them! Read: Focus on People Not Objects

Please read our article: Tips on How to Develop a Safety Checklist

The most important thing to remember about safety checklists: There is no doubt that most incidents are caused by behaviour but most checklists only check physical things and the work environment. Focus your attention on behaviours and not just things. Talk openly with the people who work in the area and they will tell you stuff that a check list never could!

Please don’t just download one of the many examples here and just put your company logo on the top and start ticking and flicking, think about your own workplace, what the safety checklist is for, who will be using it and how often.

FREE CONSTRUCTION SAFETY CHECKLISTS FROM SAFETYCULTURE and their new IAUDITOR App

Download free construction workplace inspection checklist templates – we now have a free public library resource available for desktop. Previously our public library was only available within the app. You can search and download from over 63,000 checklists.

In breaking news, TECHCRUNCH reports that:

SafetyCulture, the maker of a b2b inspection checklist app called iAuditor, has pulled in a $23 million Series B funding led by Index Ventures…………..The iAuditor app aims to replace paper-based check-lists for safety inspections, to not only speed up checks and make them more efficient but also to enable companies to centralize inspection data so it can be analyzed and benchmarked, and so that risks can be flagged in real-time.

I think there will be some interesting movements in the safety auditing app industry in the very near future!

    Hi Barry,

    I am following up on an E-Mail that I sent you a few days ago on your excellent article “177 FREE HEALTH And SAFETY CHECKLISTS”.

    I believe that you should add Lumiform to the list. The Lumiform App enables you to conduct safety, quality and hygiene inspections easily and intuitively.
    Most businesses still rely on pen & paper for inspections and audits.
    That’s why we provide an extensive list of 12,000 free checklists already used by hotels, restaurants, factories and more.
    Many of our checklists are tailor made for Covid-19.

    Our key features include:
    -Create customized forms in minutes
    -Start with ready-to-use templates
    -Conduct safety, quality and hygiene inspections faster via app
    -Solve issues together with teammates
    -Get fully automated, customizable reports
    -Analyze data with ease

    I know for a fact that your readers will greatly benefit from Lumiform especially during Covid-19.

    May I send you a sample of our Covid-19 checklists to convince you?

    Looking forward to hearing from you soon,

    Julian
