Abstract
People are the most valuable resource in any company; therefore, it is essential to maintain a workplace free of accidents. Several guidelines establish the requirement to keep the work environment safe; however, gaps in procedures often lead to incidents and accidents. Gemba walks help eliminate waste from processes in this context, the waste refers to unsafe conditions. When conducted with a safety focus, Gemba walks can be transformed into a Safety Tour, which becomes a powerful tool to address these gaps because it involves visiting the actual workplace. The use of a checklist structured by areas will bring consistency and systematization to the visits. This article presents the fusion of a Gemba Walk and a checklist to minimize blind spots in safety systems. Additionally, near -miss reports play a key role in eliminating detected risks before they escalate into accidents.
Keywords: safety, Gemba walk, zero accidents, check list, near miss report
