S
AFETY
Over 90% of accidents are due to human
error or from complacency about the job. This
checklist is provided to remind you of the
potentially hazardous conditions at the job-
site.
W ORKING AT HEIGHT
Will you be working more than six feet off
the ground? If yes, have you received appro-
priate training (i.e., ladder, scissor lifts and
personal fall-arrest systems)?
Do you have the appropriate personal
protective equipment (PPE) for working at
height (safety harness/lanyard)?
Will you be working on roofs with unpro-
tected edges? If yes, make sure actions are
taken to prevent a fall (i.e., identification of
adequate anchor points for safety harnesses).
C ONFINED S PACE WORK
Will you be working in any confined
spaces? If yes, have you received appropriate
training? A confined space has limited means
of entry/egress, is not designed for human
occupancy, and is large enough for bodily
entry.
Is permit-required confined space entry
required? If yes, have appropriate steps been
taken for safe entry, such as permit issuance.
If in doubt, DO NOT ENTER and inform the
client.
E LECTRICAL / LOTO
Does the project require you to work with
live electricity? If yes, have you received
appropriate training?
Do you have appropriate locks and tags to
de-energize or isolate the electrical supply?
R
EMOTE AND LIMITED USE LOCATIONS
Is there the potential to contact poisonous
plants (ivy, oak or sumac)? If yes, make sure
you wear proper PPE (gloves, long pants and
long sleeves).
Check for snakes, vermin and bees / wasps.
If stung or bitten, do you have reactions
that require medical treatment, such as
Epinephrine EpiPen? If yes, inform the client
prior to starting work.
