Hutchies' Big 10 Checklist

Guide

OverviewHow to CompleteVideoChecklistExplained

Hutchies strives for all of our projects to be run safely and efficiently.

We believe that if we can get the BIG 10 right, many other aspects of the project will also be right. 

If you see anything on a Hutchies job that could be improved, you are encouraged to raise it with the Site Management Team so that it can be addressed.

The BIG 10 weekly inspection is to be completed in HammerTech.
