Pre-Shift Meeting

Ensure worker safety, site coordination, and regulatory compliance with this Pre-Shift Safety Meeting Checklist, developed to support OSHA standards (29 CFR 1926) and NYC DOB Chapter 33 requirements for construction and demolition operations.

This comprehensive checklist assists competent persons, supervisors, and site safety personnel in reviewing daily work activities, identifying potential hazards, verifying required PPE, and communicating critical safety procedures before work begins.

Designed for active construction sites, occupied buildings, and high-risk operations, this pre-shift meeting form helps teams address fall protection, housekeeping, access control, hoisting operations, public protection, electrical safety, weather conditions, tool inspections, and coordination between trades.

The checklist also supports documentation of worker attendance, safety discussions, and hazard awareness to help maintain compliance, improve communication, and reduce incidents on site.

Ideal for general contractors, subcontractors, site safety managers, and competent persons performing daily safety briefings in accordance with OSHA and NYC DOB Chapter 33 requirements.

Promote accountability. Improve communication. Reduce risk. Start every shift safely.
