Construction Safety Checklist

A practical checklist for reviewing common construction-site hazards and important OSHA-related safety requirements.

By Simple Safety Coach 09/12/2026

Construction sites change quickly, which makes consistent hazard identification and jobsite review especially important. This checklist gives safety managers and site supervisors a practical structure for reviewing common construction hazards.

What's Inside the Checklist

  • Walking-working surfaces, housekeeping, ladders, and fall protection
  • Hazard Communication and SDS requirements
  • Fire protection, extinguishers, and emergency exits
  • PPE requirements and training records
  • Electrical safety, cords, panels, and lockout/tagout
  • Machine guarding and powered equipment
  • Recordkeeping and reporting requirements

Who This Checklist Is For

  • Safety Managers and Coordinators
  • Site Supervisors and Foremen
  • EHS professionals preparing for inspections
  • Teams focused on reducing common construction hazards and OSHA citations

This checklist is a practical review aid, not a complete statement of regulatory requirements. Construction requirements vary by work activity, project, and jurisdiction.

A simpler way to manage safety starts here.
