Cabinet Shop / Millwork Field Inspection Worksheet

Field worksheet for cabinet and millwork production, dust collection, flammable finishing operations, machinery safety and fire protection.

Business / Building / Products

Business / DBA / Contact / Address
Website / Business Hours
Established / Years at Location
Stories / ISO Construction / Total Area
Office / Showroom / Production / Storage Areas
Products — Cabinets / Furniture / Molding / Countertops
Custom / Production Volume / Customer Types
Building Updates — Roof / Electrical / Plumbing / HVAC
Housekeeping / Sawdust
Underwriting Focus — Occupancy and process

Distinguish woodworking fabrication, assembly, sanding, finishing, retail showroom and installation. A shop with spray finishing has a different fire/airborne combustible exposure than assembly-only work.

Woodworking / Dust / Machinery

Machinery — Saws / Planers / Sanders / Molders / CNC
Fixed Dust Collection / Portable Vacuum
Dust Collection Location / Duct Condition
Collection System Fire / Spark Controls
Combustible Dust / Sawdust Accumulation
Equipment Maintenance / Guards / Egress
Production / Dust Control Notes
Underwriting Focus — Combustible dust

Look for visible wood dust at machines, elevated ledges, duct leaks and collector areas. Photograph representative controls and deposits; inspectors should observe, not test, explosion protection systems.

Finishing / Solvents / Fire Controls

Paint / Spray / Finishing Booth?
Booth Ventilation / Filters / Electrical
Booth Fire Suppression — Last Service Date
Solvents / Finishes — Types / Quantities
Flammable Liquid Storage / Cabinets

Separate in-shop operations from delivery and installation. Confirm who drives, whose vehicles are used, whether subcontractor insurance is obtained and whether completed operations are included in the exposure.
