This checklist helps teams observe and record safe and unsafe behaviours during site work. Sections cover housekeeping, completion of a step back 5x5, correct PPE, safe vehicle parking, and safe work practices. It also prompts discussion of current hazards and risks, existing controls, ways to encourage safety, and emergency plans. Use it to capture comments and sign-off, strengthen risk awareness, and support continuous improvement across field operations.

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.

It supports identifying material risks, noting time and duration, capturing team members, logging safe and at-risk behaviours across PPE, tools, procedures, and work area conditions, and recording immediate actions and follow-ups.
