ILO C167 pre-task site-safety walk — urban construction site, Accra (2026-07-21)
A dense urban construction site in Accra relies on the crew's own checks with no third-party pre-task safety documentation. Standard: ILO C167 Safety and Health in Construction (1988) + national OSH law where stricter Proof: photo per checklist section + GPS + ILO C167 / national-law checklist + tiered findings routed to the responsible person Method (ILO C167 Safety and Health in Construction (1988) + WHO healthy-workplace pre-task site-safety walk (national OSH law where stricter), ~45-90 min): 1. Check in with the site's responsible/competent person; confirm scope, don PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document only. Note the applicable national OSH law (ILO C167 is the floor). 2. Walk fall exposure: photograph unprotected edges/openings, guardrails/covers, and any fall-arrest anchorage in use (ILO C167 Art. 24, work at height). 3. Inspect scaffold and ladder condition: footing, ties, planking, guardrails; ladder pitch and tie-off (ILO C167 Art. 14-15). 4. Screen temporary electrical: cord/panel condition, isolation, and protection against contact (ILO C167 Art. 21). 5. Record housekeeping, access/egress, and PPE provision + use (ILO C167 Art. 28-30). 6. Tier each finding against ILO C167 / national law (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor) and name the responsible person. 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the checklist, and the tiered findings; sign. Route stop-work items to the responsible person with a timestamp. Equipment: site PPE (hard hat / eye protection / hi-vis per site), tablet/clipboard with the ILO C167 checklist, camera, tape measure, note on the national OSH requirements + the responsible/competent person Done when: Fall-exposure, scaffold/ladder, temporary-electrical, and housekeeping/PPE sections each completed with photos; Applicable national OSH reference noted (ILO C167 as the floor); Every finding tiered with the responsible person named; Stop-work items routed with a timestamp
How this work is done
A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: ILO C167 Safety and Health in Construction (1988) + WHO healthy-workplace pre-task site-safety walk (national OSH law where stricter)
Bring
- site PPE (hard hat / eye protection / hi-vis per site)
- tablet/clipboard with the ILO C167 checklist
- camera
- tape measure
- note on the national OSH requirements + the responsible/competent person
Steps
- 1. Check in with the site's responsible/competent person; confirm scope, don PPE, and confirm you observe-and-document only. Note the applicable national OSH law (ILO C167 is the floor).
- 2. Walk fall exposure: photograph unprotected edges/openings, guardrails/covers, and any fall-arrest anchorage in use (ILO C167 Art. 24, work at height).
- 3. Inspect scaffold and ladder condition: footing, ties, planking, guardrails; ladder pitch and tie-off (ILO C167 Art. 14-15).
- 4. Screen temporary electrical: cord/panel condition, isolation, and protection against contact (ILO C167 Art. 21).
- 5. Record housekeeping, access/egress, and PPE provision + use (ILO C167 Art. 28-30).
- 6. Tier each finding against ILO C167 / national law (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor) and name the responsible person.
- 7. Enter photos, GPS/address, the checklist, and the tiered findings; sign. Route stop-work items to the responsible person with a timestamp.
If it does not match the plan
- Unprotected fall exposure at height with no guardrail/cover/anchorage in use -> STOP-WORK: document, clear the area, route to the responsible person; do not proceed past the exposure (ILO C167).
- Damaged/incomplete scaffold or a non-compliant ladder in active use -> STOP-WORK for that element; flag to the responsible person, do not use.
- Temporary electrical with exposed conductors or no isolation/protection -> flag as an electrocution hazard; do not touch; route to a qualified electrician.
- No PPE provided where the hazard requires it, or any confined-space/excavation/hot-work condition -> observe-and-document only; never enter; route to the responsible/competent person. Approval and correction stay human.
What counts as done
- Fall-exposure, scaffold/ladder, temporary-electrical, and housekeeping/PPE sections each completed with photos
- Applicable national OSH reference noted (ILO C167 as the floor)
- Every finding tiered with the responsible person named
- Stop-work items routed with a timestamp
