About this file
This is a Contractor Safety Activity Checklist developed by the County of Orange, California, designed as a comprehensive tool for general contractors and subcontractors to identify tasks, hazards, and safety controls aligned with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration requirements. The checklist systematically addresses 23 major safety categories including site safety representatives, competent and qualified personnel requirements, personal protective equipment specifications, hand and power tools, ground and surface penetrations, excavation and trenching, demolition, traffic and pedestrian control, hazardous energy control (lockout/tagout), elevated work surfaces, cranes and heavy equipment, fire protection, steel erection, hazardous substances and materials, confined space entry, welding and hot cutting, lead paint handling, asbestos removal, paint and coating application, sanitation, silica dust control, company-related programs such as heat illness prevention and ergonomics, and radiation and laser safety. For each category, the checklist requires contractors to identify applicable hazards, specify required documentation and training records, designate qualified personnel by name and certification, and detail safety controls and procedures specific to the project scope of work.
The checklist serves as a foundation for developing comprehensive Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents and ensures contractor compliance with Cal/OSHA standards. Contractors must complete the form by identifying their site safety representatives and competent/qualified persons for applicable work categories, selecting required personal protective equipment based on task-specific hazards, and submitting supporting documentation such as training records, inspection certifications, compliance plans, fit test results, and proof of competency. The document includes detailed requirements for specialized activities such as fall protection work plans, electrical safety programs compliant with NFPA 70E, respiratory protection programs with fit test documentation, confined space entry permits, lead and asbestos compliance plans, and equipment certifications for cranes and aerial lifts. This checklist is mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors working on County of Orange construction and facilities maintenance projects and directly supports the County's safety and loss prevention policies by establishing a uniform standard for hazard identification and control implementation across all contract work.

ENVIRONMENT/SITE SPECIFIC HAZARDS CURRENTLY EXCLUDED
Instructions:
The Safety Checklist is a tool for Contractors to help identify the tasks, hazards, and controls, based upon their scope of work, and to properly align them with California Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s requirements.
The Safety Checklist is intended to be filled out by general contractors to incorporate their work and the work of all their lower tier subcontractors. Filling out the Safety Checklist helps determine if the General Contractor and its Subcontractor(s) is taking into account expected hazards and controls based upon the scope of work. This information should ultimately help all Contractors with completing their Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) documents.
