Safety Checklist (Plant)
- The objectives of these checklists are to provide a simple, comprehensive tool that will help provide a safer work environment for the workers and traveling public.
These checklists are made to be interactive between Estimators, Project Managers, Supervisors, and Craft Personnel. Allowing for input from all perspectives and work types to identify the maximum potential hazards.
These are meant to be living documents and are open to change. Please send all recommendations for change and improvements to the attention of Bill Knopf, Executive Director of APAI (wknopf@asphaltindiana.org) who will forward to the Safety Committee for review and recommendations.
