Workplace Safety
Completing the Quarterly
Safety Inspection
Checklist
Oregon Occupational Health and
Safety Administration (OSHA)
OSHA requires that regular safety
inspections and occasional audits be
performed to make sure the
workplace remains free of hazards
that could cause injury or illness.
What is an inspection?
•The inspection examines conditions in the
workplace to identify hazards.
•Inspections are performed each quarter in
October, January, April and July.
An audit is then performed to evaluate how well
the department is controlling hazards. The audit
is performed by the safety committee to ensure
continuous improvement.
Who completes the
Checklist?

be completed in each
kitchen.
