Forestry Burn Plan & Pre-Start Safety Checklist

This forestry operations checklist helps teams plan and conduct controlled burns and daily work safely. It covers site details, emergency location points, radio channels, and access roads; pre-start machine checks for leaks, greasing, fluid levels, debris, and radiator screens; pre-burn requirements including fire trailer on site, firefighting equipment readiness, PPE, pump and hose setup, suitable weather, safe vegetation clearance, and signage; a PPE verification section; structured risk assessment with inherent and residual risk ratings, controls, and hierarchy of control; traffic management using TMP codes; plus meeting minutes, daily work plan, and names and signatures. Use it to standardize compliance and protect crews in forest and farm environments.
