When you need it
Use before releasing a specific work area to a crew, especially after a design revision, access change or predecessor handover. Repeat the review when conditions affecting the proposed activity change.

How to use this template
What it helps you decide
The checklist exposes practical start blockers before labour and equipment arrive. It supports a bounded readiness decision by showing which prerequisites have evidence and which still require action.
How to complete it
- Define the exact workfront and activity, then translate applicable drawings, access requirements and inspection arrangements into Readiness item and Required evidence entries.
- Inspect actual conditions and link each Evidence reference to its Responsible verifier. Record missing materials, unresolved interfaces and unavailable access as explicit Open blockers.
- Review blockers with their owners and enter the actual Decision reference when issued. Recheck conditions after changes; a completed checklist itself gives no permission.
Who prepares and reviews it
The site engineer usually prepares it with the superintendent, design coordinator, materials team and inspection personnel. The responsible site manager reviews the package; the actual authority to release work follows project arrangements.
A mistake to avoid
Marking an item ready because its document exists, without checking the current revision or actual site condition, conceals the restriction affecting execution.
Illustrative example
Illustrative example: a crew is scheduled to install pipework in a plant room. Drawings and materials are available, but a cable tray obstructs the lifting route. Record the obstruction, photograph reference and interface owner; the site manager then decides whether to resequence installation or await a coordinated access solution.
