Abstract
<p>The WHO's Surgical Safety Checklist was introduced in 2009, and around 60％ of hospitals in Japan have adopted the original or modified <b><i>CHECKLISTS</i></b>. The <i><b>CHECKLIST</b></i> can help identify most of problems that are often missed by surgical teams, clarify the process of complex procedures, and/or enhance overall performance by improving teamwork in the operating theater. No doubt the <i><b>CHECKLIST</b></i> can be meaningless if ignored by the operating room staff. While we cannot totally eliminate incidents happening during anesthesia and surgery even when using the <b><i>CHECKLISTS</i></b>, we should make efforts to implement and promote Safety Culture.</p>
