Raken’s top checklists
1. Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
Construction workers put their lives at risk every day. A simple checklist can help them thoroughly assess hazards on the jobsite and ensure there's a plan in place to prevent unnecessary incidents.
A job hazard analysis checklist covers:
The risks associated with the day’s tasks
Safety measures that should be taken
PPE requirements
2. Heavy Equipment
From bulldozers and backhoes to cranes and excavators, working with or around many of the tools and equipment needed on the jobsite can be dangerous and difficult to manage.
Our customers use heavy equipment checklists so equipment stays in better working condition and operators keep safety top of mind.
A heavy equipment checklist covers:
What equipment is being used
Inspection of the equipment and work area
Safety measures that should be taken
Operator certifications
3. Extra Work/Change Order Form
When work is required that’s out of the project scope, it needs to be properly documented. An extra work or change order form keeps your teams organized and clearly communicates the change in scope to stakeholders.
An extra work/chane order checklist covers:
What new work is required
Who completed the work
When the work was completed
How many hours and materials were used
4. Construction Quality Control
Rework is expensive and time consuming. To avoid quality mistakes that can lead to costly disputes, our customers utilize checklists that walk field crews through the steps for reviewing work and checking for defects.
A quality control checklist covers:
Scope of work
Submittals
Inspections
Any issues found
5.Material Delivery
Materials are a major expense. Construction companies often use a standardized checklist to track material deliveries and protect their investments.
A material delivery checklist covers:
Who delivered and received the materials
Time and date of delivery
Where and how the materials were stored
6. Project Safety
Safety is a complex issue, and many variables can affect the level of risk on a construction site. Many of our customers choose to complete a general project safety checklist that reviews all factors holistically on a regular basis.
A project safety checklist covers:
General safety measures on the jobsite
Housekeeping
PPE
Equipment
7. Incident/Property Damage Report
Not all incidents or accidents can be avoided. In the event that an injury or illness occurs, or if property is damaged, businesses need a way to quickly document the details.
An incident or property damage report covers:
What happened
Who was involved
Whether or not the right stakeholders have been notified
Prevention tactics

8. Near-Miss Incident Report
Similarly, even when a mistake leads to a close call, it’s crucial to document exactly what happened and all the contributing factors. That way, different strategies can be implemented to improve safety and prevent near-misses (and worse) in the future.
An near-miss incident report covers:
What happened
Contributing factors
Prevention tactics
9. Excavation Safety
Excavation areas are highly dangerous, so our customers will often take extra care and assign a dedicated checklist for prepping and inspecting the excavation site.
An excavation safety checklist covers:
DigAlert notification
Soil inspections
Access routes
Emergency plans
10. Forklift Safety
Forklifts are one of the most commonly used pieces of heavy equipment. You can ensure the safety of both the operator and other personnel in the work area with a checklist.

Operator certification
Equipment inspection
Maintenance requirements
