Take 5 Pre-start Checklist

  • Version 2
  • Miscellaneous
  • Reads on any phone

Safety starts before the job does. This Take 5 Pre-start Checklist helps workers identify and address hazards in just five minutes, promoting a proactive safety culture on your worksite.

It asks whether the job involves any high-risk construction work, then lists site and environmental hazards to tick, whether the SWMS covers them, and a hazard table to record risk ratings, instructions and control measures, with an overall risk rating and a check that the risk is acceptable to proceed.

Use it to promote essential safety checks without delaying work, and to encourage everyone to take ownership of safety. Customise the other-hazards section for site-specific risks.
