Generate a printable site inspection checklist across the common WHS hazard categories — access, housekeeping, heights, electrical, plant, PPE and more.
Enter the site, inspector and date so the printed checklist is ready to use on your walk-around.
Work through each item, marking yes, no or not applicable, and note any hazards found and the action needed.
Fix what you can on the spot, assign the rest with a due date, and keep the signed checklist as a record.
It’s a structured list used to walk a site and check whether common hazards are present and controlled — access, housekeeping, fall risks, electrical, plant, manual handling, substances, PPE, emergency equipment and more. It prompts a consistent inspection so nothing obvious gets missed.
Regular workplace inspections are part of managing WHS risk. Frequency depends on the site and its risks — many run them weekly, with daily checks on higher-risk work and after any significant change. The key is that they’re routine and acted upon, not one-off.
Deal with them using the hierarchy of controls — eliminate the hazard if you can, otherwise minimise it with higher-order controls before relying on PPE. Fix simple things immediately, assign the rest with a responsible person and due date, and follow up that they’re done.
No checklist can. It covers common hazards as a prompt, but you must also look for the specific hazards of your site and work. Use it alongside task risk assessments (JSA/SWMS), not instead of them.
This checklist is a general prompt for common site hazards, not a complete or site-specific assessment. You must identify and control the actual hazards of your workplace and work under WHS law, applying the hierarchy of controls. Use it alongside task-specific risk assessments.
