by Zach Humphrey, from the Community

Use this Living Safely Walks checklist to lead effective safety conversations on site. Verify critical risk controls for mobile plant, traffic, energy and electricity, bitumen, health and wellbeing, and working at heights. Check planning documents and permits such as SWMS, lift plans, permits to work, seatbelts, exclusion zones, TMP, VMP, VOC, and required PPE. Record actions, close out items in CAMS, capture organisational learnings, consult with crews, and recognise good work to strengthen HSE engagement and compliance.

HSE Site Management Conversation Checklist
Use this checklist to lead structured health, safety and environment conversations on site. Record the top risks and current controls, assess effectiveness using the hierarchy of control, and note positive HSE observations. Check subcontractor activities and verify they are working safely. Review implementation of inductions, risk registers, SWMS and JSEA, works authorisations, permits to work for hot works and work at height, and licences. Capture comments and follow ups to drive continuous improvement and reinforce good practices during routine HSE walk throughs.

Our Controls Meeting Checklist
Use this practical checklist to facilitate Above the Line controls meetings on construction projects. Guide supervisors and crews through critical risk controls for working at heights, mobile plant and POZ management, temporary works such as formwork and scaffolding, live services and electricity, live traffic interfaces, and crane or lifting operations. Reinforce housekeeping, access and egress, weather and environmental conditions, PPE, hot works readiness, and chemical handling. Capture photos, assign actions with due dates, record participants, and verify close-out evidence to ensure controls remain effective and work is stopped and restarted safely when risks change.

The template supports daily review, competence checks, rescue planning, and sign off so crews can confirm controls before starting work.

This construction workplace inspection checklist helps supervisors and site managers assess safety and compliance on major works projects. Verify SWMS for high-risk tasks, maintain a project hazard log, display emergency procedures and site rules, and ensure all workers are inducted.

Check electrical testing, permits, and plant risk assessments, with exclusion zones and manual handling aids in place. Confirm hot work permits, working at heights controls and competencies, excavation plans and services locating, signage and guarding, benching or shoring, scaffold certifications, demolition and formwork approvals, hazardous materials registers, and licensed asbestos or lead removal.
