General Construction Site Safety Audit Checklist
by Tyler Frank, from the Community
This general construction site safety audit checklist helps supervisors and safety teams assess site conditions, uncover hazards, and verify compliance. It covers general information, required programs and postings, confined spaces, hot work, first aid and fire protection, material storage, housekeeping, and barricading. Dedicated sections review personal protective equipment, fall protection, stairs and ladders, floor openings, and roof warning lines. Electrical safety items include GFCI use, temporary lighting, lockout tagout, cords, and panel labeling. The checklist also evaluates scaffolding, heavy equipment operation and inspections, operator training, aerial lifts, and power line clearance. Excavation and trenching controls address competent person oversight, soil analysis, protective systems, access and egress, dewatering, and confined space evaluation. Includes space for notes, an overall rating, and signatures.
