Free printable safety forms & checklists
A library of free, printable safety forms for US contractors. Fill in the header, print, and use on the job. No sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Incident report form
Use this form to record a workplace incident properly: what happened, who was involved, the injury and treatment, whether it must be REPORTED to OSHA (a fatality within 8 hours; an in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye within 24 hours), whether it is RECORDABLE on your OSHA 300 log, and the corrective actions so it does not happen again.
Near miss report form
A near miss is the incident that happened without the injury: free information. Use this form to capture what nearly went wrong, how bad it could have been, and the fix. Crews that record near misses catch the pattern before it catches someone, and prequal reviewers increasingly ask how near misses are tracked.
OSHA self-inspection checklist (small contractors)
Walk your jobsite against this checklist before an inspector, a GC, or an insurance auditor does it for you. It covers the paperwork OSHA looks for first, the Focus Four hazards that drive most construction fatalities (falls, struck-by, electrocution, caught-in/between), and the site basics that signal a run-right job.
Toolbox talk record
A toolbox talk without a signed record is a conversation; with one, it is documented safety training. Use this form to capture the topic, key points, what the crew raised, and who attended. Pair it with any talk from our free bilingual library.
Pre-task plan (PTP)
A pre-task plan is the daily quick version of a JHA: before the crew starts, the lead walks the task, names the steps, the hazards, and the controls for today's conditions, and everyone signs on. Many GCs require a PTP every morning; this form is that ritual on one page.
Vehicle inspection checklist
A two-minute vehicle check catches the bald tire, the dead brake light, and the unsecured load before they become an incident, a ticket, or a DOT problem. Use this checklist for pickups, vans, and light work vehicles: walk around, tick, record defects, get them fixed.
Forklift daily inspection checklist
OSHA requires powered industrial trucks to be examined at least daily before use, or after each shift when the truck is used around the clock, and a truck found unsafe must come out of service. This checklist is that examination on one page: walk-around, operational checks, and the tag-out decision.
PPE hazard assessment form
OSHA requires employers to assess the workplace for hazards that require PPE and to certify that assessment in writing: who did it, when, and for which work area. This form is that assessment and certification on one page: walk the area, identify the hazards, select the PPE, sign it.
Ladder inspection checklist
Ladder falls are among the most common construction injuries, and most trace back to a damaged ladder or a bad setup. Inspect before use: rails, rungs, feet, and hardware, then the setup itself (the 4-to-1 angle and the 3-foot extension above the landing). A defective ladder gets tagged and removed, not "used carefully".
Chemical (HazCom) risk assessment form
Use this form to assess one hazardous chemical or product before work with it. Pull the hazard information from its safety data sheet (SDS), record who is exposed and how, list the controls in the hierarchy order (elimination and substitution first, PPE last), and conclude with a residual risk rating. It supports your Hazard Communication program under OSHA 29 CFR 1910.1200.
Incident investigation report
The incident report captures what happened on the day; the investigation report is the follow-up that finds WHY and fixes it. Use this form to reconstruct the sequence, gather evidence, get past the immediate cause to the root cause, and assign corrective actions that actually prevent a repeat. Blaming a worker is not a root cause.
Site housekeeping checklist
Housekeeping is one of the most common jobsite inspection failures and a direct cause of slips, trips, falls, and struck-by injuries. A clean site is a safer and more productive site. Use this checklist for a daily or end-of-shift walk: clear the paths, store the materials, remove the waste, and control the cords and spills.
Forklift operator evaluation form
This is the operator evaluation, not the daily machine check. OSHA requires each powered industrial truck operator's performance to be evaluated at least once every three years, and re-evaluated sooner after unsafe operation, an accident or near miss, assignment to a different truck type, or a change in workplace conditions. Use this form to evaluate the operator and complete the certification OSHA requires.
Forms record what happened. The safety documents are what reviewers ask for.
When a GC or prequal portal wants your JHA, safety plan, or written program, we generate a job-specific one, with checked citations, in under 30 minutes.
