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".

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 verified, job-specific one in minutes.
