This SLAM safety checklist helps teams stop, look, assess and manage hazards before starting work. Use it to verify competence and authorization, confirm permits, plan communication, select correct PPE and tools, and check isolation requirements. Identify risks from energy sources, slips and trips, mobile plant and moving equipment, barricading needs, and potential harm to others. Record housekeeping, location and personnel details, then proceed only when conditions are safe. Ideal for mining, construction and industrial operations.
