CSTC/RSST-aligned jobsite checklists
By Claude Piché, founder · Updated October 19, 2026
A checklist is not paperwork—it is shared memory so crews do not miss critical steps when attention is pulled in many directions.
Why task-based lists
Risks differ for formwork, welding, and roofing. Thematic lists speak the trade’s language and cover work phases.
They make your prevention program actionable on mobile.
Before, during, after
Strong lists break work into phases: setup, production, teardown or end of shift.
That structure avoids mindless ticking disconnected from reality.
Evidence and learning
Timestamped completions and notes show which topics repeat. Adjust training and instructions accordingly.
Exported PDFs provide simple record artifacts.
OK Sécurité in short
The app bundles 50+ Québec construction lists with team management and reporting.
Start with your most frequent site tasks to build the habit.
Lists are inspired by the CSTC / RSST framework. OK Sécurité is an independent aid: CNESST does not approve or certify these lists. They do not replace site-specific risk analysis. For information only — this is not legal advice. OK Sécurité is an independent company with no affiliation to the CNESST: we are not mandated, endorsed or certified by it. Where there is any discrepancy, the official text published by Légis Québec or the CNESST prevails.
