Self-Check / Washington Construction

Safety Program Self-Check.

Ten questions on the program elements a Washington construction contractor should have in place. Answer yes, no, or unsure. Your score and a plain-language list of gaps appear on this page right away. No email required.

01 / Written program

Do you have a written accident prevention program that fits the work your company actually does, and has it been reviewed within the last year?

Built for your trades and your sites, not a generic template on a shelf.

02 / Site-specific planning

Before a project starts, do you document the hazards specific to that site and how each one will be controlled?

For example, a site-specific safety plan or a documented pre-task hazard review that crews actually see.

03 / Higher-risk work

For the higher-risk work your crews perform, such as work at height, excavation, or electrical work, do you have written procedures and designated, trained people?

04 / Training records

If asked today, could you produce training records for every current employee showing who was trained, on what, when, and by whom?

05 / Jobsite inspections

Are jobsite inspections done on a set schedule, written down, and are the findings tracked until they are corrected?

06 / Safety meetings

Do crews hold regular safety meetings, with the topic and attendance recorded?

07 / Incident reporting and investigation

Do you have a written process for reporting and investigating injuries and near misses, and are corrective actions followed through?

08 / Subcontractor expectations

Do you set written safety expectations for your subcontractors and check that those expectations are met on site?

09 / A named owner

Is there one named person who owns safety for the company, with the time and authority to act on it?

10 / Emergency readiness

Does every active jobsite have an emergency plan crews know about, and first aid coverage from someone with current training?
