OSHA SHARP Readiness Checklist

A practical self-assessment tool for organizations evaluating their readiness for OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program.

By Simple Safety Coach 09/12/2026

OSHA's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) recognizes qualifying small and mid-sized employers that operate exemplary safety and health programs and work with OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program.

This checklist provides a structured self-assessment for organizations considering SHARP and preparing for the consultation and evaluation process.

What's Inside the Checklist

  • Eligibility and preliminary requirements
  • Management leadership and employee participation
  • Hazard identification and assessment
  • Hazard prevention and control
  • Safety and health training
  • Program evaluation and improvement
  • SHARP-specific documentation readiness
  • Final readiness confirmation

Who This Checklist Is For

  • EHS Directors and Safety Managers
  • Safety Coordinators and Consultants
  • Organizations preparing for OSHA On-Site Consultation
  • Companies considering SHARP recognition

Program eligibility and requirements should be verified directly with OSHA or the applicable state consultation program. This checklist is an educational readiness aid, not a determination of SHARP eligibility.

A simpler way to manage safety starts here.
