CONTRACTOR SAFETY INSPECTION CHECKLIST

These are suggested guidelines.  You may need to add or subtract items for specific jobs or locations.  The facility safety officer should complete a safety inspection of  the contractor’s job on a weekly basis and file the inspection results with the contractor’s job records.  Results must be reviewed with the contractor and records should be kept of the responses and timeliness of any corrective actions.  These should be taken into consideration when evaluating the contractor at the completion of the job.
