Construction Pre Start Audit Checklist

This pre start audit checklist helps construction and estates teams verify site setup before work begins. It guides auditors to confirm required notices are displayed, essential documents are available for inspection including construction phase plan, risk assessments, method statements, asbestos report, and registers for scaffolds, plant and excavations. It covers welfare facilities, lighting, heating, ventilation, drinking water, and hygiene. The checklist also reviews permits and licenses for hazardous waste, training and competency records such as CSCS and CPCS, and first aid provisions. Final sections capture observations, confirm that hazards are controlled, and record contractor and auditor signatures.
