Pre-Tower Climbing Inspection Checklist

by Raymond User, from the Community

This @Link pre-tower climbing inspection checklist helps telecom field teams confirm safety readiness before ascending a tower. It covers pre-task planning and JHA, crew certifications (FA/CPR and tower rescue), documented rescue plans, and rigging plans. Verify site housekeeping, safe access, barricades, signage, utilities, and emergency equipment including fire extinguishers, first aid kits, and eyewash. Ensure appropriate PPE (hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection, and safety-toe boots) and inspect fall protection gear with 100% tie-off practices. Address RF hazard controls with monitors and procedures. Check tools, guards, GFCIs, and extension cords. Capture good catches/near misses and assess overall safety focus before declaring the inspection complete.

Tower Safety Inspection Checklist
This telecom tower safety inspection checklist helps crews verify critical pre-work and on-site controls. It covers JSA completeness and hazard mitigation, crew login with tower owner and carrier, daily PFAS and capstan inspections, and a written rescue plan for elevated work. Confirm crew certifications for climbing, rigging, RF awareness, first aid and CPR, crane and aerial lift operations. Check PPE including hard hats, high-visibility clothing, safety glasses, gloves, and task-specific gear. Verify first aid kits and fire extinguishers are accessible and inspected. Ensure a tower rescue kit is staged and complete, RF monitoring is in place, GFCI is used, cords are managed, and rigging follows the plan and industry standards. Review environmental controls: safety banners, shade or warmth, water, traffic cones or barricades, trench and hole protection, and housekeeping.
