Inspection Setup and Scope

Inspection area and work phase identified

Record the specific building level, zone, or work area being inspected, including the current construction phase.

Inspector confirmed route walk-through from work area to exit discharge critical (required)

Verify the inspection includes the full pedestrian path from occupied work zones to the nearest usable exit and discharge point.

Yes No N/A

Temporary route changes communicated to crew and subcontractors critical (required)

Check whether any detours, closures, or alternate exits have been communicated to workers affected by the area.

Yes No N/A

Temporary Lighting

Temporary lighting provides adequate illumination along all pedestrian egress routes critical (required)

Verify that walkways, corridors, stairs, ramps, and access points are sufficiently lit for safe travel without relying on handheld lights.

Yes No N/A

Measured light level at primary egress path

Record the measured illumination level at the darkest point of the primary pedestrian route.

Note (optional)

Lighting fixtures are securely mounted and protected from damage critical (required)

Check for loose cords, exposed lamps, damaged housings, or fixtures positioned where they can be struck by equipment or materials.

Yes No N/A

No excessive glare, deep shadows, or flicker affecting safe travel

Confirm lighting does not create visibility hazards at stairs, corners, doorways, or changes in elevation.

Yes No N/A

Emergency lighting or backup power available where required critical (required)

Verify emergency lighting is present in areas where loss of normal power would compromise safe egress.

Yes No N/A

Exit Signage and Directional Marking

Exit signs are present at required exits and route changes critical (required)

Confirm exit signage is installed where occupants need direction to locate the exit path, including temporary detours and alternate routes.

Yes No N/A

Exit signs are visible from the approach path critical (required)

Verify signs can be seen from normal walking distance and are not blocked by stored materials, tarps, or equipment.

Yes No N/A

Exit signs are illuminated or photoluminescent as required critical (required)

Check that exit signs remain legible under normal and emergency conditions and are powered or otherwise visible as required by the site plan.

Yes No N/A

Directional arrows and temporary wayfinding match the actual route critical (required)

Confirm arrows, cones, and posted directions lead to the correct exit and do not direct pedestrians into dead ends or restricted areas.

Yes No N/A

Exit signage is unobstructed and mounted at an appropriate height

Verify signs are mounted where they remain visible above stored materials and temporary barriers.

Yes No N/A

Barricades, Barriers, and Access Control

Barricades clearly separate pedestrians from active hazards critical (required)

Check that temporary barriers prevent access to open edges, excavations, equipment swing radius, or other hazards without blocking the exit route.

Yes No N/A

Barricades are stable, intact, and properly positioned

Verify barriers are not collapsed, displaced, or missing sections that would allow unintended entry or create a trip hazard.

Yes No N/A

Access openings are controlled and clearly marked

Confirm gates, openings, or temporary access points are marked so pedestrians can identify the correct path without confusion.

Yes No N/A

No barricade or stored material encroaches into minimum egress width critical (required)

Verify the walking path remains continuously passable and is not narrowed by materials, tools, cords, or barrier placement.

Yes No N/A

Pedestrian Egress Route Condition

Egress route is free of trip hazards and debris critical (required)

Check for cords, loose boards, tools, packaging, mud, uneven surfaces, or other obstructions along the route.

Yes No N/A

Stairs, ramps, and changes in elevation are clearly marked and safe critical (required)

Verify handrails, edge marking, and surface condition support safe movement through changes in level.

Yes No N/A

Route remains passable during normal site operations

Confirm equipment staging, deliveries, or active work do not routinely block the pedestrian path.

Yes No N/A

Alternative egress route identified if primary route is blocked critical (required)

Verify a safe alternate route is available and posted when the primary path is temporarily unavailable.

Yes No N/A
