It covers plant checks, PPE and equipment readiness including CAT and Genny, vibration controls, deep excavations and confined spaces requirements, and environmental considerations such as spill kits. It also lists emergency contacts and nearest hospitals to support incident response, and includes a site register and final site safety checks before leaving.
