Site Mobilization Pre-Start Inspection

New construction site walk before mobilization is complete. Verifies site logistics plan, traffic control, utilities, signage, and safety infrastructure are in place before crews arrive.

Site Access & Perimeter Control

• Primary access route is open, stable, and clearly identifiable
  Access route supports safe entry for delivery vehicles, emergency responders, and authorized personnel without soft ground, obstructions, or unclear routing.
• Perimeter fencing, barriers, or controlled boundaries are installed where required
  Site boundary controls prevent unauthorized access and separate the public from active work or hazardous areas.
• Gate control and visitor entry process are defined
  Entry point has a clear process for sign-in, escorting, and access authorization.
• Emergency vehicle access route is unobstructed
  Fire lanes, ambulance access, and turning areas are available and not blocked by materials, equipment, or parked vehicles.
• Site address and emergency location are visible from the main approach
  Street address, project identifier, or emergency location marker is visible for responders and delivery drivers.

Traffic Control & Logistics

• Traffic control plan is posted and matches field conditions
  Current plan reflects actual site routing, staging, delivery points, and restricted areas.
• Pedestrian and vehicle routes are separated where required
  Walkways, barricades, cones, or signage keep pedestrians away from moving equipment and delivery traffic.
• Delivery staging and laydown areas are designated and unobstructed
  Materials storage and unloading zones are identified and do not block access, exits, or emergency routes.
• Flagging, spotter, or traffic marshal controls are assigned where needed
  High-risk vehicle movements have a defined control method and responsible person.
• Speed limits and one-way travel directions are posted
  Site traffic rules are visible at entry points and along internal routes.

Temporary Utilities & Energy Controls

• Temporary electrical service is installed and protected
  Panels, cords, and distribution equipment are secured, weather-protected, and arranged to reduce damage and shock risk in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1926 Subpart K.
• Ground-fault protection is provided where required
  Temporary power circuits and receptacles have appropriate GFCI protection or equivalent safeguards where applicable.
• Temporary lighting provides adequate illumination for access and work areas
  Lighting is installed for safe movement and early-start/late-stop conditions; note any dark zones or trip hazards.
• Temporary water and sanitation facilities are installed or scheduled before crew arrival
  Potable water, handwashing, and toilet facilities are available or confirmed for installation before work begins.
• Utility shutoff locations and lockout-tagout points are identified
  Main disconnects, shutoffs, and utility isolation points are labeled and accessible for emergency response and controlled energization.

Signage, Permits & Required Notices

• Project safety signage is posted at entrances and hazard points
  Required warnings, PPE notices, restricted access signs, and directional signs are visible and legible.
• Emergency contacts and site-specific emergency procedures are posted
  Emergency numbers, muster point information, and response instructions are available to workers and visitors.
• Permits, approvals, and AHJ-required notices are displayed where applicable
  Building permits, utility permits, excavation permits, or other required postings are present and current.
• Hazard communication and SDS access method is established
  Workers can access chemical hazard information and Safety Data Sheets before materials arrive on site.
• Fire protection and no-smoking signage is posted where required
  Fire prevention notices, extinguisher locations, and smoking restrictions are visible in required areas.

Safety Infrastructure & Emergency Readiness

• Fire extinguishers are installed, accessible, and appropriately located
  Portable extinguishers are visible, mounted or staged correctly, and not blocked by materials or equipment.
• First aid supplies and emergency response kit are available on site
  First aid resources are stocked and accessible for the expected crew size and site conditions.
• Emergency assembly point or muster area is designated
  A safe assembly location is identified, posted, and kept clear of site hazards.
• Temporary walkways, ramps, and access paths are safe and free of trip hazards
  Walking surfaces are stable, reasonably level, and protected from holes, debris, cords, or uneven transitions.
• Housekeeping is adequate for a pre-start site
  Loose debris, scrap, packaging, and other obstructions are controlled so the site is ready for mobilization activities.
• Site safety lead or competent person has been identified for mobilization phase
  A responsible person is assigned to monitor hazards, coordinate corrections, and verify readiness before work starts.
