Pathology Laboratory Inspection Checklist

Maintaining rigorous safety and quality standards in a pathology laboratory requires regular, thorough inspections across multiple operational areas. This Pathology Laboratory Inspection Checklist template from Paperform helps laboratory managers, quality assurance teams, and safety officers conduct systematic facility audits covering specimen tracking verification, chemical storage compliance, slide archive integrity, and overall laboratory conditions.

Whether you're conducting routine monthly inspections, preparing for accreditation reviews, or performing post-incident assessments, this template streamlines your inspection workflow. The structured format ensures nothing is overlooked—from specimen handling protocols and cold storage temperatures to chemical inventory management and archival slide conditions.

The form includes conditional logic to flag areas requiring corrective action and can trigger follow-up workflows automatically. Connect this template to your quality management system via Paperform's native integrations or use Stepper (stepper.io) to automate corrective action assignments, schedule re-inspections, and notify department heads when critical issues are identified.

For pathology labs, diagnostic centers, hospital laboratories, and research facilities, this checklist helps maintain CAP, CLIA, and ISO 15189 compliance while creating a clear audit trail. Paperform's secure, SOC 2 Type II compliant platform ensures your inspection records are safely stored and easily accessible for regulatory reviews.
