Safety Inspection: Miter Saws and Extension Cords

by RJ Moore, from the Community

This safety inspection checklist helps crews assess miter saws and extension cords before use. Verify cord and plug condition, blade suitability and damage, guard operation, stable setup, and operator PPE. Check housekeeping around the cut station, ensure grounded cords, choose wet-location cords when needed, avoid tripping hazards, and remove damaged equipment from service to maintain a safe jobsite.

Extension Cord Inspection Checklist
This extension cord inspection checklist helps teams verify safe power use on jobsites and facilities. Assess cord type and size for the task, confirm grounding pins are intact, and check for jacket, plug, and pin damage. Require GFCI protection in wet locations and during construction activities. Remove damaged equipment from service, ensure repairs are made by qualified persons, and test outlets, breakers, and cords with a GFCI receptacle tester. Standardize monthly checks and document compliance.
