LSB Audit Checklist: Be Authorized and Competent

Use this LSB audit checklist to confirm workers and contractors are authorized and competent before starting work. Verify site safety inductions, visitor registration, training profiles, operating instructions and procedures, and planned job observations. Check that CRA or PTRA risk assessments are completed, work is within scope, and only certified personnel perform tasks such as scaffold modifications or forklift operation. Capture deviations, note corrective actions, and escalate to supervisors to strengthen safety compliance and workforce competence.
