A structured safety observation checklist for field and site work. Capture project details, observer and observee names, and the task observed. Identify at-risk observations across personal factors and job factors, then perform root cause analysis. Review PPE compliance, body use and positioning, and site conditions including housekeeping, barricades, suspended loads, and confined spaces. Verify operating procedures such as HASP and JSA reviews, permits like hot work, LOTO, and confined space, plus trenching and excavation controls. Assess tools and equipment, monitoring and calibration, ladders, and heavy equipment practices. Record corrective actions, assign responsible persons, set due dates, and verify and validate effectiveness with supervisor approvals.
