FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Are these official safety checklists?

No. They are educational examples to adapt — not official, approved or jurisdiction-specific checklists, and not legal advice. The items that actually apply depend on your workplace, risk assessment and the applicable law.

Does completing a checklist make a workplace compliant or safe?

No. A checklist supports awareness and consistency; it does not guarantee safety or compliance and does not replace a risk assessment, training or the employer’s responsibilities.

Who decides what a checklist should contain?

The employer, based on the task, the risk assessment and the applicable law. These examples help you start; they do not determine what your checklist must include.
