This pre-start CDM inspection checklist helps principal designers, contractors, and site managers verify readiness before construction begins. It covers project details, site occupancy, existing structures, adjacent property risks, asbestos and deleterious materials, live and underground services, traffic and access hazards, demolition, contaminated ground, excavation stability, scaffolding and erection sequence, mechanical and manual handling, work at height, hazardous substances, and construction pollution. It also prompts checks for reports and investigations, local authority restrictions, and site-wide arrangements such as access, welfare, phasing, and security. Use it to document hazards, plan controls, and support CDM compliance and safe project mobilization.
