This Behavioral Based Observations checklist helps teams capture safe and at-risk behaviors during daily tasks. It covers PPE use, body positioning and ergonomics, housekeeping and work area conditions, lighting, grounding, and slip-trip hazards. It also reviews operating procedures such as JHA and permits (hot work, LOTO, confined space, excavations), awareness of other activities on site, and certifications like forklift operations. Sections include tool and equipment selection, condition, and correct use, plus ladders and powered equipment. Use it to drive safer habits and continuous improvement.
