Safety audits should be conducted at least quarterly, with more frequent checks on high-risk areas or equipment. Daily safety walkthroughs are also recommended to identify and address immediate concerns.

By systematically identifying potential hazards, ensuring proper safety protocols are in place, and verifying that all equipment is properly maintained, the checklist helps prevent accidents before they occur.

The audit should involve safety managers, operations supervisors, human resources personnel, and employee representatives to ensure a comprehensive evaluation of all safety aspects and promote a culture of shared responsibility.

This checklist is tailored to address specific safety concerns in e-commerce fulfillment centers, such as material handling equipment safety, ergonomics for repetitive tasks, and safety measures for high-volume periods like peak shopping seasons.
