3. Ensure PTW system is available and followed, this will keep you safe.
4. Ensure 3rd party certificates available, valid & check with certification body (if possible) whether the certs are authentic.
5. Ensure people have given work-specific training with attendance proof before they go to work. ( eg: Crane Op training for crane operator)

Remember,
Your job is to make sure people are Safe, have specific training, following safe working systems.
Paperwork will not make work safer, but it will save you in case of an incident.
