Why Every Safety Manager Needs a Centralized Inspection Checklist Repository in 2026

By 2026, "I think the latest Confined Space checklist is in that shared drive somewhere" will no longer be an acceptable answer when OSHA shows up unannounced. Penalties are climbing past $17,000 per serious violation, inspectors want proof of inspections in seconds, and employees on night shift or at remote sites need the current Lockout/Tagout or Bloodborne Pathogens checklist on their phone-right now.

This article reveals why 2026 is the breaking point for decentralized checklists, the hidden costs of inaction, and how Simple Safety Coach gives EHS professionals a cloud-based, automatically updated repository of over 50 regulator-ready inspection checklists-plus the power to build unlimited custom ones in minutes.
