Equipment Safety Survey

by Neil Nieburg, from the Community

30+

This Equipment Safety Survey is designed for construction sites to assess the safe operation and maintenance of cranes, drill rigs, excavators, forklifts, loaders, and other heavy equipment. It guides inspectors through daily checks, proper setup and leveling, swing radius controls, barricades, operator qualification, and the presence of manuals and weight sheets. Sections cover rigging (winches, wire rope, hooks, sheaves), electrical systems (E-stops, instrumentation, wiring, batteries, generators), and general site safety including spill kits, guarding of rotating parts, catwalk condition, and fire extinguishers. Use it to record preventative maintenance, repairs requested, and safety observations to keep equipment and crews safe.

Health and Safety Site Audit Checklist
This health and safety site audit checklist helps field crews verify compliance and readiness before and during work. It covers staff training status, vehicle cleanliness and roadworthiness, and a complete inventory of critical equipment including first aid kits, fire extinguishers, spill kits, PPE, and traffic management signs and cones. It prompts checks for Chapter 8 compliant site setup, tool and plant availability such as generators, blowing machines, cable winches, water pumps, and rescue tripods, as well as calibration dates for detection equipment. The checklist also includes risk assessments and COSHH documentation, photo evidence of site setup, and a final condition check to ensure all equipment is safe and functional.

Equipment Inspection Checklist
This pre use equipment inspection checklist helps crews verify the condition and safety of heavy machinery before operation. It covers exterior damage, glass, steps and grab bars, tracks or tires, blade and cutting edges, hydraulic rams and hoses, lights and beacons, and machine greasing. Inspectors check engine, hydraulic, coolant and transmission fluids, belts, filters, leaks, and battery condition. Interior checks include housekeeping, operator seat and belt, gauges and switches, alarms and horns, wipers, manuals, and fire extinguisher status with photo capture. Function tests validate backup alarms, lights, drive, steer, boom raise and lower, extend and retract, auxiliary power, and emergency stops. Variants include excavators, loaders, dozers, aerial lifts, generators and light plants, compressors, forklifts, trucks and UTVs, with prompts to log hours, document defects, and create actions for issues to ensure safe and compliant operation.
