This behavioural safety observation checklist helps supervisors and observers evaluate safe and unsafe acts during routine tasks. It covers task observation across activities such as manual handling, chemical use, operating machinery, welding and hot work, working at height, confined space entry, and equipment maintenance. The form guides reviews of personal safety, adherence to standard operating procedures and permits, safe work practices, housekeeping, and the condition and correct use of tools and equipment. It also prompts checks on appropriate PPE and encourages structured safety conversations and dynamic risk assessment. Use the checklist to record hazards, near misses, and corrective actions, and to secure worker commitment to improvements.
