Checklist of Slab form work

No matter which type of shutter material you use for making concrete form work, the main purpose of concrete form work is same that is temporary support cast in situ concrete including all live load. So the purpose of checking form work is that the form is capable enough to carry the load till concrete gets desired strength. Another purpose of concrete form is to give hardened concrete a shape without loosing its quality. 
Although purposes of concrete form work is constant yet form work checklist is different for different shuttering materials used in concrete form. 
Here I'm sharing a checklist for a particular concrete form which we made in previous post "How to make slab form work using only steel shutter material".
