Restaurant safety inspection checklist, run from a photo
A restaurant safety inspection checklist focuses on the hazards that injure food-service workers most: wet or greasy floors, blocked or locked exits, cluttered back-of-house walkways, and unsafe conditions around hot equipment and storage. OSHA Scan lets a manager photograph the kitchen, the dish area, a walk-in, or an exit corridor and get an instant read — the AI flags visible slip, egress, and housekeeping hazards, references the OSHA standard each may relate to, scores the area, and suggests a fix. It gives shift managers a fast pre-service check that anyone can run. It covers workplace safety hazards visible in a photo and is an AI-assisted first look, not food-hygiene grading and not a replacement for a qualified inspection.
- Floors dry, mats flat, spills handled
- Exits and aisles clear
- Hood and filters free of grease buildup
- Fire suppression and extinguishers ready
Does this replace a health inspection?
No. OSHA Scan looks at worker-safety hazards visible in a photo — slips, exits, walkways, and equipment surroundings. Food hygiene and health-code grading are a separate process run by your local health department. The scan complements that; it does not replace it.
What restaurant hazards does it catch best?
The visible, high-frequency ones: wet or greasy floors and missing mats, blocked or cluttered exits, and clutter in tight walkways. These are the conditions behind most restaurant worker injuries, so the scanner prioritizes them.
Can staff run it, or only managers?
Anyone can run it — that is the point. If a team member can take a photo, they can flag a hazard. No safety training is required, and the report is written in plain language with a suggested fix for each item.
