Daily Safety Observation Checklist

by Alexander Garcia, from the Community

This Daily Safety Observation template helps teams document site conditions and worker behaviors to reduce risk on construction projects. Record basic site details, then assess PPE by category for head, eyes and face, hearing, hands, and feet. Review fall protection and guardrail systems, scaffolding, ladders, and mobile equipment such as bobcats and excavators. Check fire and electrical safety, hand and power tools, and confirm tools are correct for the task, used properly, and in good condition. Observe body positioning, lifting, reaching, pushing and pulling, and pinch point awareness. Verify housekeeping, slips and trips, orderly storage, clear aisles, and floor openings. Capture procedures, safety huddles and toolbox talks, pace of work, visual focus, and communications, then add signatures to complete the observation.

GBS Safety Observation
Use this behavior-based safety observation checklist to capture at-risk and safe behaviors during routine work. Record the task observed, initial actions, eyes on task, speed of work, line of fire and body position, slips, trips and falls, struck-by and pinch points, PPE compliance, guards and rails, energy isolation (LOTO), and ergonomic body mechanics like lifting, bending, and repetitive motions. Verify procedures and standards are understood and followed, assess housekeeping, and confirm tools and equipment are correct, in safe condition, and used properly. Add improvement ideas and follow-up actions to reinforce your safety culture and reduce incidents.
