10+

This checklist helps teams inspect workplace housekeeping and access ways on construction and similar worksites. Verify site cleanliness, adequate lighting, unobstructed walkways, and proper handrails. Confirm tidy work areas, defined laydown zones, stable material stacking, and correct storage of equipment and dangerous goods. Check that bins and recycling are adequate, slip and trip hazards are controlled, and Waratah posts are capped. Review oil and grease storage and waste removal, signage and barricading for hazardous areas, and solid barriers for potential fall zones. Ensure temporary barriers are removed after tasks and reverse parking signage is visible. Use this inspection to identify risks, assign corrective actions, and improve on-site safety and compliance.

Housekeeping, Access and Egress Checklist
This construction checklist helps teams verify housekeeping, access and egress controls, and general site safety. Inspect safe stacking of materials and tidy laydown areas, confirm signage for hazardous storage or disposal, and check barricades around hazardous and potential fall zones. Ensure sharp objects are capped, bins are visible and emptied, and waste is segregated correctly. Verify that access and egress routes are clear, access to elevated work areas meets site requirements, handrails are installed on ramps and stairs, sharp edges on walkways are covered, and ladders are secured with the correct angle and platform projection. Designed for high standards on industrial and construction sites.
