Check mobile plant licensing and prestarts, trench and excavation controls, roof access and edge protection, and designated drop zones. Record contractor details, capture photos, assign corrective actions, and track completion to reduce risk and improve build performance.

OHS Audit Checklist
This OHS audit checklist supports construction site safety and compliance. Review site signage, fencing, inductions, and PPE requirements, then verify first aid readiness and the visibility of the COVID-19 management plan. Check garage door installation safety, including safety screw placement and risk notices. Assess housekeeping standards, waste management, and material storage. Confirm electrical safety by testing and tagging equipment, verifying RCDs, and ensuring ESP visibility. Evaluate working at heights controls such as fall protection systems, void covers, and scaffold handover certificates. Inspect mobile plant and equipment, capture photo evidence, note hazards, and record corrective actions to maintain compliance and reduce risk.

Brickworks Project OHS Audit Checklist
This Brickworks Project OHS Audit checklist helps site managers and supervisors assess safety and compliance across residential or commercial construction projects. It covers site information and required signage, access and fencing, mandatory documentation such as SWMS, induction logs, and emergency plans, and readiness of first aid and lunch room facilities. Environment and sustainability controls include mud and silt management, spill kits, noise minimization, and waste segregation. Site conditions review housekeeping, access, toilets, and trade readiness. High-risk activities addressed include working at heights, trestles, ladders, void protection, scaffolding, and hang-on scaffolds, with checks for certifications and controls. Plant and trenching sections verify licenses, pre-starts, exclusion zones, and spotters. Trades are checked for induction, PPE, guarding, test and tag, extraction on saws, nail gun modes, and sun safety. The checklist ends with site manager sign-off.
