How do I review a subcontractor's prestart checklist?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Go through each item on the checklist against the project's requirements. Check for completed SWMS, risk assessments, and any necessary permits. Make sure all signatures are there and that the checklist is dated. If something's missing, follow up with the subbie straight away.
Key points
- Check SWMS and risk assessments.
- Look for required permits.
- Ensure all signatures and dates are present.
A thorough review of the prestart checklist helps catch any oversights before work kicks off. If the subbie hasn't met all the requirements, it can lead to safety issues on site later.
