SUPPLEMENT-IISAMPLE CHECKLISTS FOR SAFETY AUDITChecklistsThe use of checklists is highly recommended as they provide a useful “aide memoire” for theaudit team to check that no important safety aspects are being overlooked. They also give to theproject manager and the design engineer a sense of understanding of the place of safety audit inthe design process. The following lists have been drawn up based on the experience ofundertaking systematic safety audit procedures overseas. This experience indicates that extensivelists of technical details has encouraged their use as “tick” sheets without sufficient thoughtbeing given to the processes behind the actions. Accordingly, the checklists provide guidelineson the principal issues that need to be examined during the course of the safety audits.Stage 1-During Feasibility Study1.
