This EAS Essential checklist helps teams manage safe use of hand and power tools on construction sites. It covers monthly and daily inspections, proper storage, required PPE, correct tool and attachment selection, guarding and RPM compliance, and de-energizing tools before changes or maintenance. It reinforces housekeeping, cord and grounding checks, working in low-traffic areas with signage and barricades, safe body positioning and grip, securing materials for two-handed operation, and fire safety when sparks are produced. Includes fields for comments, date, and signature to document compliance.
