Walk Affordable-housing renovation site, Baltimore MD before the crew starts and flag safety hazards (2026-07-21)
Affordable-housing renovation site, Baltimore MD runs no documented daily safety walk, so fall, scaffold, and temporary-electrical hazards go uncorrected between the crew's own checks. Walk it against the OSHA 1926 checklist and route what must stop to the site's competent person. Standard: OSHA 1926 Subparts M/L/X/K/C pre-task jobsite safety walk Proof: photo per checklist section + GPS + GFCI test log + tiered findings list routed to the competent person Method (OSHA 1926 pre-task jobsite safety walk (Subparts M fall protection / L+X scaffolds+ladders / K electrical / C housekeeping), ~45-90 min): 1. Check in with the site's competent person; confirm scope, don required PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document only โ no trade work, no entry into active hazard zones. 2. Walk the fall-exposure perimeter: photograph unprotected edges/openings 6 ft or greater, guardrail/cover condition, and any personal fall arrest anchorage in use (Subpart M). 3. Inspect scaffold and ladder condition: base/plumb/tie-in, planking, guardrails; ladder pitch (~4:1), footing, tie-off, and 3-ft landing extension (Subparts L/X). 4. Screen temporary electrical: cord condition, GFCI presence, panel access clearance; test accessible GFCI outlets with the tester and record trip/no-trip (Subpart K). 5. Record housekeeping and access/egress: trip/impalement hazards, material storage, walkways, and clear exit paths (Subpart C). 6. For each finding, mark condition against the OSHA 1926 checklist item, assign a tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor), and name the responsible competent person. 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, checklist results, the GFCI test log, and the tiered findings list; sign. Route stop-work items to the competent person with a timestamp. Equipment: hard hat + safety glasses + hi-vis vest (site PPE), tablet/clipboard with the OSHA 1926 pre-task checklist, camera, GFCI outlet tester, tape measure, flashlight Done when: Fall-exposure, scaffold/ladder, temporary-electrical, and housekeeping sections each completed with photos; GFCI test log recorded (outlet ID + trip/no-trip) for accessible temporary circuits; Every finding tiered (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor) with the responsible competent person named; Stop-work items routed to the competent person with a timestamp

- 4. Screen temporary electrical: cord condition, GFCI presence, panel access clearance; test accessible GFCI outlets with the tester and record trip/no-trip (Subpart K).
- 5. Record housekeeping and access/egress: trip/impalement hazards, material storage, walkways, and clear exit paths (Subpart C).
- 6. For each finding, mark condition against the OSHA 1926 checklist item, assign a tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor), and name the responsible competent person.

If it does not match the plan
- Unprotected fall exposure 6 ft or greater with no guardrail/cover/personal fall arrest in use -> STOP-WORK: document, clear the area, route to the competent person; do not proceed past the exposure.
- Damaged/incomplete scaffold or a non-compliant ladder in active use -> STOP-WORK for that element; flag to the competent person, do not use.
- Temporary circuit with no GFCI, or a GFCI that fails to trip -> flag as electrocution hazard; do not touch, route to a licensed electrician / competent person.
- Any live-electrical, confined-space, trenching 5 ft or deeper, or hot-work condition -> observe-and-document only; never enter; route to the site's qualified/competent person. Approval and correction stay human.
What counts as done
- Fall-exposure, scaffold/ladder, temporary-electrical, and housekeeping sections each completed with photos
- GFCI test log recorded (outlet ID + trip/no-trip) for accessible temporary circuits
- Every finding tiered (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor) with the responsible competent person named
- Stop-work items routed to the competent person with a timestamp
