Deep checks

Lockout/tagoutMachine guardingForkliftsHazard communicationRespiratory protectionNoise and hearing conservationEmergency plans, exits and fire extinguishersLaddersOSHA injury records and reporting
Deep checks come with the One-Time Report and the monthly plans.
What to upload
Start with the documents you already have.
- Safety manual
- Lockout/tagout procedures
- Forklift training and evaluation records
- Emergency action and fire prevention plans

PDF, Word or plain text. Please don't upload personnel files, patient records or anything with Social Security numbers: the check only needs your policies and programs.
