Site conditions change as work progresses. Use this pre-start checklist to document the day's work areas and confirm that the controls required by the site plan have been reviewed.
Make it specific to your site.
Review the day's activities, risk assessments, method statements and permit requirements with the authorised supervisor. Add specialist checks for the actual work being performed.

How to use the downloaded checklist
Open the CSV in your spreadsheet app. Adapt the checks, enter your approved criteria and add any missing site requirements. Use the result, action, owner, due date and verification columns to document follow-up.
Keep the original observation when a check fails. Record the corrective action and verification separately so the full sequence remains clear.
