Safety Design Evaluation Checklist

All potential hazards in the design are identified and documented.

Risk assessments are conducted for each identified hazard.

Control measures are implemented to mitigate risks.

Compliance with relevant safety standards and regulations is ensured.

The materials used are durable and non-toxic.

Components meet industry safety standards (e.g., fire resistance).

Parts are tested for wear and tear under expected operating conditions.

Safety labels and warnings are provided for hazardous components.

The design is user-friendly and minimizes physical strain or fatigue.

Controls and interfaces are intuitive and accessible to all users.

Emergency exits and safety features are easily identifiable.

The design accommodates individuals with disabilities or special needs.

Fire-resistant materials are used in critical areas.

Electrical systems are insulated and meet safety standards.

Emergency shutdown systems are implemented and tested.

Fire extinguishers, alarms, and sprinklers are appropriately placed.

Emergency evacuation routes are marked and accessible.

Safety equipment (e.g., alarms, first aid kits) is functional and accessible.

Regular safety drills are planned and documented.

Redundant systems are in place for critical operations during emergencies.

Maintenance schedules for safety-critical systems are established.

Regular inspections ensure design integrity and safety compliance.

Records of safety inspections and corrective actions are maintained.

Wear-and-tear components are monitored and replaced as needed.
