by Scott Meinecke, from the Community

This IAEC job site observation checklist supports field supervisors and crews in electric utility work. Use it to review tailgate planning, crew readiness, PPE and FR clothing, and removal of conductive items. Assess conductor work including switching, absence of voltage testing, grounding, and LOTO. Verify safe use of aerial devices, climbing gear, pole handling, trailers, vehicles, and cargo securement. Check traffic control compliance, URD excavation and terminations, tree trimming, and substation practices. Track tool and equipment condition, test dates for live line tools, jumpers, grounds, and rubber goods. Capture best practice suggestions and signatures to reinforce coaching and recognize safe performance.
