Self-Inspection Check Lists
SELF-INSPECTION CHECK LISTS
These check lists are by no means all-inclusive. You should add to them or delete portions or items that do not apply to your operations; however, carefully consider each item as you come to it and then make your decision. You also will need to refer to OSHA standards for complete and specific standards that may apply to your work situation. (NOTE: These check lists are typical for general industry but not for construction or maritime.)
