Basic conditions are often the clearest signal of how seriously safety is managed.
Housekeeping, usable exits, sound walking surfaces, safe storage and maintained emergency equipment are visible controls that either work every day or quietly degrade.
What this check covers
This free check is a quick walk-around of the physical conditions in any workplace: housekeeping and working space, storage and stacking, floors, stairs and access routes, escape routes and firefighting equipment, PPE, signs and demarcation, and whether inspections happen often enough to catch deterioration before it becomes normal. Ten questions, three of them safety-critical: guarding at stairs, changes in level and openings; escape routes and exits that can be used quickly; and firefighting equipment provided and maintained. It is grounded in the General Safety Regulations and the Occupational Health and Safety Act, and it is aimed at the owner, manager or supervisor of premises such as a workshop, warehouse, retail store, school or office who wants to know whether the basics are in order before anyone with a clipboard arrives. Basic conditions are the clearest signal of how seriously safety is managed, because they either work every day or quietly slip. Your answers stay in your browser.
