Tick one box per item: OK or needs attention. It runs top to bottom through PPE, the climbing line and saddle, carabiners and rigging, saws and bar oil, the first-aid and bleed kit, the truck and chip box, and site setup like cones, drop zone and bystander control.
Quick to run, hard to fudge, and a paper trail if anyone ever asks whether the gear was checked. Keep a pad in every truck.
What's inside
- PPE check: helmet, eye, ear, chaps, gloves, boots, hi-vis
- Climbing & rigging: line, saddle, connectors, friction device
- Saws & tools: fuel, bar oil, chain sharpness and tension
- First aid: kit, trauma/bleed kit, eyewash
- Vehicle & trailer plus site-setup checks
- An 'items flagged for attention' notes field
For climbers, ground crew & foremen — and it's free to use on real jobs.
Questions
Who fills this out?
Whoever runs the morning gear check — usually the crew lead or the climber — before the crew rolls or before the first climb.
Is this the same as a job briefing?
No. The checklist is a gear-and-vehicle readiness check; the job briefing (also free here) covers the day's hazards and plan. Run both.
