Construction Site Shut-Down Checklist and Report
This construction site shut-down checklist and report helps teams prepare a site for a safe closure and efficient restart. It guides you to control access, confirm security lighting and alarms, and ensure gates, barriers, and signage are in place. Checklist items cover isolating material hoists, making scaffolds safe by removing access ladders, and preventing unauthorised use of equipment. It includes stacking and storage practices to secure boards and sheeting against wind, remove ladders, store tools in lockups, and maintain good housekeeping with clear walkways and removed combustibles. Edge protection is verified on leading edges and drop offs, or areas are barricaded. The template also captures emergency contacts, a distribution list for stakeholders such as client, project managers, HSE, and security, plus closing and opening dates, author and reviewer details, and a completion date.
