Warehouse Cleanliness Checklist
A clean warehouse protects people, inventory, and uptime. This Warehouse Cleanliness Checklist turns daily hygiene and sanitation into a simple, repeatable routine — clear aisles, scrubbed floors, emptied bins, wiped equipment, stocked PPE, and documented safety stations. Each line is precise and verifiable, so teams know exactly what “done” looks like and supervisors can spot gaps before they become risks.
Use it two ways: print the free PDF for clipboards and offline walk-throughs, or run it in the TARGPatrol mobile app to assign tasks, set due times, and capture photo proof in real time. Mixed answer types keep the record audit-ready: [Flag] for pass/fail checks, [Number] for counts (filters, extinguishers, traps), [Media] for before/after photos, and [Text] for notes and corrective actions.
With TARGPatrol, results roll into dashboards and reports you can filter by shift, zone, contractor, or SOP. Recurring schedules, reminders, and SLA tracking reduce missed cleanings, while trends highlight chronic problem areas — overflowing waste, spill hotspots, pest activity, or worn floor markings — so you can target fixes instead of repeating the same tasks blindly.
Over time, the checklist becomes a living standard that supports 5S, safety compliance, and smoother operations across every bay and rack. Update steps as layouts change or new equipment arrives, and keep a traceable history of who cleaned what, when, and with which evidence. That transparency cuts audits from hours to minutes and keeps the floor inspection-ready every day.
