Stay on top of site safety every week
A recurring weekly checklist covering 20 critical safety areas — from scaffold inspections to fall protection — so nothing gets missed on your active sites.
Weekly inspections keep your site safe and up to standard.

Frequently asked questions
A Weekly Site Checklist is a recurring safety inspection completed each week on an active construction site. It covers areas like induction verification, SWMS requirements, toolbox talks, incident reporting, first aid, tripping hazards, electrical safety, scaffold safety, fall protection, ladder safety and more — helping you maintain ongoing safety standards.
As the name suggests, weekly checklists should be completed once per week on each active worksite. Regular completion ensures hazards are identified early, safety standards are maintained, and you have a continuous safety record for audits and inspections.
The checklist covers 20 key safety areas including previous checklist completion, induction verification, SWMS requirements, toolbox talks, incident reporting, first aid kit maintenance, tripping hazards, site cleanliness, material storage, electrical safety, tool maintenance, trench safety, scaffold safety and stability, stairwell safety, lighting, fall protection, ladder safety, and amenities maintenance.
