Site Inspection Checklist
Regular site inspections are both a legal requirement and an early warning system for incidents. This checklist provides a structured, thorough inspection format that covers every critical area of a South African construction or industrial worksite.
Organized into 12 inspection categories — from access and housekeeping to electrical safety, plant, and emergency preparedness — each item has pass/fail/N.A. status, an action-required field, responsible person, and target close-out date. Produces a complete, defensible inspection record.
