12 Inspection Checklists to Maximize Safety in the Workplace

Safety inspection lead holding a clipboard for inspection checklist workflows

Inspection checklists help teams maximize safety without turning every inspection into guesswork. They give inspectors, managers, and operators a repeatable way to check conditions, capture evidence, and assign follow-up before small issues become expensive problems.

Use this pack to choose the right inspection checklist for the job, then run it in Process Street as a workflow. Each workflow can collect structured responses, attach photos or notes, route corrective actions, and keep a record your team can review later in Reports.

Some of these checklists support specific standards or safety requirements. Others are built around general best practices for property, equipment, facilities, and workplace inspections. For a broader operating model, see our process checklist guide.

Either select the checklist you need from the quicklinks below, or scroll through the full pack to see what each one covers.
