How to use this checklist
Review the items before the task starts, not only at the last minute. Check off what applies, copy the unfinished items if you need a short action list, and save relevant receipts, photos, dates, and contact names in your own records.
Some items may not apply to your situation. Local rules, official guidance, product instructions, building policies, insurance requirements, and qualified professional advice should take priority where they apply.
