Health Safety
This checklist identifies some of the hazards mostcommonly found on construction sites. The questions it
asks are intended to help you decide whether your site
is a safe and healthy place to work. It is not an
exhaustive list. More detailed information can be found
in HS G 150 Health and safety in construction and other
HSE publications.
Safe places of work

0
‘0
0
0
0
Can everyone reach their place of work safely, eg
are roads, gangways, passageways, passenger
hoists, staircases, ladders and scaffolds in good
condition?
Are there guard rails or equivalent protection to
stop falls from open edges on scaffolds, mobile
elevating work platforms, buildings, gangways,
excavations, etc?
Are holes and openings securely guard railed,
provided with an equivalent standard of edge
protection or provided with fixed, clearly marked
covers to prevent falls?
Are structures stable, adequately braced and not
overloaded?
Are all working areas and walkways level and free
from obstructions such as stored material and
waste?
Is the site tidy, and are materials stored safely?
Are there proper arrangements for collecting and
disposing of waste materials?
Is the work adequately lit? Is sufficient additional
lighting provided when work is carried on after dark
or inside buildings?
Scaffolds

Are scaffolds erected, altered and dismantled byI
competent persons?

Construction Sheet No 17 (revised)
Are there adequate guard rails and toe boards or an equivalent standard of protection at every edge
from which a person could fall 2 m or more?
Where guard rails and toe boards or similar are
used:
are the toe boards at least 150 mm in height?
is the upper guard rail positioned at a height
of at least 910 mm above the work area?
are additional precautions, eg intermediate
guard rails or brick guards in place to ensure
that there is no unprotected gap of more than
470 mm between the toe board and upper
guard rail?
Are the working platforms fully boarded and are the
boards arranged to avoid tipping or tripping?
Are there effective barriers or warning notices in
place to stop people using an incomplete scaffold,
eg where working platforms are not fully boarded?
Has the scaffold been designed and constructed to
cope with the materials stored on it and are these
distributed evenly?
Does a competent person inspect the scaffoldregularly, eg at least once a week; always after it
has been substantially altered, damaged and
following extreme weather?
Are the results of inspections recorded?
Powered access equipment

Has the equipment been erected by a competent
person?
Is fixed equipment, eg mast climbers, rigidly
connected to the structure against which it is
operating?
Does the working platform have adequate guard
rails and toe boards or other barriers to prevent
people and materials falling off?
Have precautions been taken to prevent people
being struck by the moving platform, projections
from the building or falling materials, eg barrier or
fence around the base?
Are the operators trained and competent?
Is the power supply isolated and the equipment
secured at the end of the working day?

Ladders
0 Are ladders the right means of access for the job?
0 Are all ladders in good condition?
0 Are they secured to prevent them slipping
sideways or outwards?
0 Do ladders rise a sufficient height above their
landing place? If not, are there other hand-holds
available?
0 Are the ladders positioned so that users don’t have
to over-stretch or climb over obstacles to work?
0 Does the ladder rest against a solid surface and
not on fragile or insecure materials?
Roof work
Are there enough barriers and is there other edge
protection to stop people or materials falling fromroofs?
Do the roof battens provide safe hand and foot
holds? If not, are crawling ladders or boards
provided and used?
During industrial roofing, are precautions taken to
stop people falling from the leading edge of the
roof or from fragile or partially fixed sheets which
could give way?
Are suitable barriers, guard rails or covers, etc
provided where people pass or work near fragile
\ material such as asbestos cement sheets androoflights?
Are crawling boards provided where work on fragile
materials cannot be avoided?
Are people excluded from the area below the roof
work? If this is not possible, have additional
precautions been taken to stop debris falling onto
them?
Excavations
0 Is an adequate supply of timber, trench sheets,
props or other supporting material made available
; before excavation work begins?
0 ‘ Is this material strong enough to support the sides?
0
Is a safe method used for putting in the support, ie
one that does not rely on people working within an
unsupported trench?
0 If the sides of the excavation are sloped back or
battered, is the angle of batter sufficient to prevent
collapse?
0 Is there safe access to the excavation, eg by a
sufficiently long, secured ladder?
Are there guard rails or other equivalent protection
to stop people falling in?
0 Are properly secured stop blocks provided to
prevent tipping vehicles falling in?
0 Does the excavation affect the stability of
neighbouring structures?
0 Are materials, spoil or plant stored away from the
edge of the excavation in order to reduce the
likelihood of a collapse of the side?
0 Is the excavation inspected by a competent person
at the start of every shift; and after any accidental
collapse or event likely to have affected its
stability?
Manual handling
0 Has the risk of manual handling injuries been
assessed?0 Are hoists, telehandlers, wheel-barrows and other
plant or equipment used so that manual lifting and
handling of heavy objects is kept to a minimum?
0 Are materials such as cement ordered in 25 kg
bags?
0 Can the handling of heavy blocks be avoided?
Hoists

NOTES
General
1. The inspection report should be completed before the end of the relevant working period.2. The person who prepares the report should, within 24 hours, provide either the report or a copy to the person on whose behalf the inspection was carried out.3. The report should be kept on site until work is complete. It should then be retained for three months at an office of the person for whom the inspection was carried out.
Working platforms only
1. An i nspection is only required where a person is liable t o fall more than 2 metres from a place of work.2. Any empl oyer or any other person who controls the activities of persons using a scaffold shall ensure that it i s stable and of sound construction and that the relevant safeguards are in place before
his employees or persons under his control first use the scaffold.3. No report is required following the inspection of any mobile tower scaffold which remains in the same place for less than 7 days.4. Where an inspection of a working platform or part thereof or any personal suspension equipment is carried out:
i. before it is taken into use for the first time; or ii. after any substantial addition, dismantling or other alteration;not more than one report is required for any 24 hour period.
Excavations only
1. The duties to inspect and prepare a report apply only to any excavation which needs to be supported to prevent any person being trapped or buried by an accidental collapse, fall or dislodgement
of material from its sides, roof or area adjacent to it. Although an excavation must be inspected at the start of every shift, only one report of such inspections is required every 7 days. Reports must.-.be completed for all inspections carried out during this period for other purposes, e.g. after accidental fall of material.
