Free construction checklists. No card, no account.

Real documents you keep — not sample pages and not watermarked previews. Print them, stick them on the shed wall, use them Monday.

Take what's useful and decide for yourself whether the rest is worth paying for.

Nothing to start · nothing to cancel · nothing expires

What these are, and what they aren't

These are the checklists. They're genuine prompt lists you can use as they are, and they're free to share around your crew.

They are not compliance documents and they are not legal advice. They carry no risk assessment, no control measures, no sign-off block and no QR control record — those are what the paid documents add. Where work is high-risk construction work, a SWMS prepared in consultation with the workers doing the work and approved by a competent person is required before work starts.

Adapt everything here to your own site, plant, crew and jurisdiction.

Want the controlled versions?

Every Obras document carries a QR band that resolves to a live control record — current approved revision, approval status, owner and sign-offs — and flags a superseded copy as superseded. 300 Australia-wide SWMS — one national core, the jurisdiction resolved on the cover — plus permits, registers, management plans and full operating systems.

Latest controlled SWMS version — Master Rev 22 ยท completed and verified 4 October 2026.
