Evaluate on-site safety with a practical observation checklist for managers and supervisors. Review inductions, PPE use, hazard identification and controls, and the safe setup of vehicles, tools, and materials. Confirm training and competence, assess higher-risk activities such as mechanized work and trenching, and ensure pedestrians and traffic are protected. Capture findings, note corrective actions, and verify equipment is in safe working order before work begins.
