Telecom & Tower

Capstan Hoist Pre-Use Check

Run this before the first lift of the day. A capstan pulls until something gives — the check is what decides whether that something is the rope or the operator.

General Site Safety

Confined Space Entry Check

Most confined-space deaths are would-be rescuers. Nothing on this sheet is optional, and the order matters.

Tools & Equipment

Mobile Crane Setup Check

Walk the setup before the first pick. Most tip-overs are a ground problem or a load-chart problem, and both are visible from where you are standing.

Health Hazards

Silica: Table 1 Task Check

Fill this in before the task starts. Follow Table 1 fully and you do not need to measure exposure for that task — miss a control and you do.
