A list of items requiring verification of completion; typically, a procedure format in which each critical step is marked off (or otherwise acknowledged/verified) as it is performed. Checklists are often appended to procedures that provide a more detailed description of each step, including information regarding hazards, and a more complete description of the controls associated with the hazards. Checklists are also used in conjunction with formal hazard evaluation techniques to ensure thoroughness.
