Personal Protective Equipment Daily Inspection Log

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Daily Inspection Log

Construction and trade sites demand rigorous safety standards, and proper personal protective equipment inspection is a critical part of maintaining a safe work environment. This PPE Daily Inspection Log template helps construction managers, site supervisors, and safety officers ensure that every worker's protective equipment meets safety requirements before they begin their shift.

Why daily PPE inspections matter

Damaged or worn PPE significantly increases the risk of workplace injuries. Hard hats with cracks, gloves with tears, boots with compromised soles, or faded high-visibility clothing can all fail when protection is needed most. Regular daily inspections catch these issues before they become hazards, reducing incident rates and demonstrating due diligence for compliance audits.

How this template streamlines safety compliance

Rather than relying on paper clipboards that get lost or damaged on-site, this digital inspection log captures structured data on each piece of PPE. Inspectors can quickly document the condition of hard hats, safety gloves, steel-toed boots, and high-vis clothing, flag items that need replacement, and route reports automatically to the right people.

With Paperform's conditional logic, you can automatically show follow-up questions when damaged equipment is identified, ensuring proper documentation of defects and corrective actions. The form works seamlessly on mobile devices, letting inspectors complete checks right at the job site without returning to an office.
