Leadership Engagement Safety Observation Checklist

This leadership engagement checklist supports safety walk-throughs and observations on active worksites. It captures key job and site details, then guides leaders to review risk management documentation such as JSA and SWMS, assess correct and effective PPE use, observe ergonomics and manual handling, and inspect the condition and use of tools, plant, and equipment. Environmental considerations include spills, dust, waste, flora, and fauna impacts. The template prompts notes, summaries of safe and less safe behaviours with actions, and a rating of at-risk behaviours, helping teams drive accountability and continuous improvement.
