This behavioral safety observation checklist helps supervisors and peers conduct short, constructive observations to reinforce safe work practices and address risks. It covers task observation across activities such as manual handling, working with chemicals, operating machinery, hot work, working at height, confined spaces, and more. Sections include personal safety hazards, adherence to standard operating procedures and permits, safe work practices, housekeeping, tools and equipment, and PPE checks. It guides effective safety conversations, documents safe and unsafe acts, records corrective actions and near-miss hazards, and captures sign-offs from observers and workers.
