Demolition daily inspection and exclusion-zone check Workflow

Daily pre-start inspection workflow for demolition sites: supervisor submits exclusion zone and safety checks, records are auto-cleared if safe, or work is stopped and the supervisor must remediate and re-check (up to 2 cycles) before the site is cleared to start.

Every morning before demolition work can start, someone has to check the exclusion zones, hoarding, propping, isolations and more — and right now that might mean a paper checklist or a text message that's easy to lose track of. This workflow turns that daily pre-start check into a simple form the supervisor fills in, automatically clearing the site to start when everything checks out, or stopping work and guiding the supervisor through up to two rounds of fixing issues and re-checking before it's cleared. Each day's inspection becomes its own record with a status and timeline, so the team always knows which sites are cleared, stopped, or mid-remediation.

Business Outcomes

  • Faster daily clearance for sites that pass all checks, with no manual follow-up needed
  • Clearer visibility into which sites are stopped, mid-remediation, or cleared to start
  • Reduced risk of work starting before exclusion-zone and safety checks are actually confirmed
  • A recorded history of issues found and corrective actions taken for each stopped site
  • Less admin time spent chasing supervisors for missing checks or updates

FAQs

Do I need to set up anything before supervisors can start using this?

No installation or setup project is needed — a workspace can publish this template in minutes and start running it as the live daily inspection process straight away. Supervisors just need the request form link to submit their pre-start checks each day.

Can my team customise the checklist questions to match our site requirements?

Yes, you can describe the change you want in plain English, or edit the steps and form fields directly in the workflow editor. Earlier versions are kept, so you can always see what the checklist looked like before a change.

Who is involved when a site fails the pre-start check?

The demolition supervisor is emailed that work must not start, then assigned a task due in one day to record the issues found, the corrective actions taken, and whether the site is now safe to start. The workflow waits for that task before moving the record forward, and everything entered is saved to the record.

What happens if the site still isn't safe after the supervisor fixes issues?

The record loops back to the supervisor for another round of corrective action, for up to two remediation cycles. Each cycle's issues and actions are saved to the record's timeline, so there's a clear history of what was tried and when.

How does a site get marked as cleared to start?

A site is cleared either straight away if the initial result is 'Safe to start', or after remediation once the supervisor confirms the corrective actions have made it safe. In both cases the record status is set to Cleared and the supervisor gets an email confirming work can begin, including the corrective actions taken if there were any.

Is this suitable for sites with multiple supervisors or multiple demolition jobs running at once?

Yes — each submission creates its own record with a reference number, status and timeline, so daily inspections for different sites or job references stay separate and easy to track. Table views and dashboards show all records by status, so you can see at a glance which sites are cleared, stopped, or still working through remediation.

Do supervisors need an account to submit their daily checks?

No, supervisors take part through the public request form or forms emailed to them, without ever needing to create an account. This keeps the daily submission quick and removes a barrier to getting the check done on time.

What gets recorded if a site is stopped and later cleared?

The record's timeline captures the initial result, the work-stopped status, the issues recorded, the corrective actions taken at each remediation cycle, and the final cleared status. Each business should confirm this level of detail meets its own site safety record-keeping obligations.

Can we see how many remediation cycles a site went through?

Yes, the workflow supports up to two remediation cycles, and each cycle's recorded issues, actions and safety confirmation are saved to the record. The full sequence is visible in the record's timeline, alongside the workspace's overall activity log.
