Generate a printable site inspection checklist across the common WHS hazard categories, including 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, covering 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.
