Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is intended for vehicle technicians, bodyshop operatives and workshop managers in the motor trade who handle, store or dispose of vehicle airbags. It provides a practical tool to verify that all safe work practices are being followed and that risks of accidental deployment are minimised.

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring safe transport of airbags to and from the workshop
  • Correct storage of unused and de‑activated airbags
  • Preventing accidental deployment during handling
  • Managing quarantined or deployed units safely
  • Maintaining a clean, contaminant‑free storage environment
  • Providing clear emergency response procedures for accidental deployment

The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to site‑specific procedures, integrate it with your risk assessments and record‑keeping systems, and ensure consistent compliance across all technicians.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

To use this checklist, print or display it at the worksite, complete each item before any airbag handling activity, and retain the completed record for audit and inspection. The checklist can be incorporated into your existing safety management system and linked to relevant risk assessments.

Regularly review the checklist entries and update the risk assessment whenever new airbag models are introduced or storage conditions change, ensuring ongoing compliance and safety. Include periodic inspections of storage facilities and equipment, and provide refresher training for staff to maintain high safety standards.

It depends on the activity and your risk assessment — many checks are daily, weekly or monthly, while others are done before each task or shift. Completed, dated checklists provide a useful record of your monitoring.
