The electrical inspection checklist provides a list of safety items to check for different facility areas including production areas, electrical rooms, maintenance shops, and offices/labs. Key items include ensuring disconnects and panels are covered and labeled, cords are not damaged or hanging, emergency stop devices and ventilation work properly, and electrical areas are restricted and labeled. The goal is to identify any electrical safety issues to address for the protection of workers.
