This rail-inclusive site inspection checklist helps teams assess construction and rail work areas for safety and compliance. It covers project documentation (inductions, pre-starts, SWMS, JHAs, permits), construction safety controls, traffic management, and general site conditions. Environmental measures include noise and dust control, erosion and sediment management, waste handling, spill response, and concrete washouts. It verifies PPE compliance, signage, scaffolding, ladders, welding controls, and tool condition. Rail-specific requirements address safe working qualifications, communications, track occupancy (SAP) where applicable, and rail safety management planning. Plant and equipment checks include prestarts, alarms, beacons, and competency verification to support consistent, auditable inspections.
