This prestart checklist template helps construction teams verify site readiness before work begins. Review key safety documentation and inductions, confirm Site Safe Plan and SWMS are provided, and ensure required signage is installed. Check preliminaries such as toilets, power access, heat management, temporary spoil bunds, site shed/office, lunch area, material laydown, and fencing or barricades. Validate traffic management requirements, documentation, road hoarding, and pedestrian walk-throughs. Address environmental controls including silt fencing for erosion and dust suppression. Capture pre-construction survey and as-built documentation needs, verify procurement of locks, signage, and specialist equipment, and attach photos for records and handover.
