Risk Assessment Description:

This asbestos refurbishment and demolition survey safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators, tilers, fitters and site supervisors ensure safe identification, control and documentation of asbestos before any demolition or refurbishment work. The template can be customised to suit specific project requirements and provides a clear framework for managing asbestos risks on construction sites.

It covers the essential dimensions of safe asbestos work, including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, sampling procedures, containment, PPE, waste handling, emergency arrangements and the legal duties set out in the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and the HSE Approved Code of Practice HSG264. The checklist aligns with the duty‑holder’s obligations to manage asbestos in non‑domestic premises and reflects current HSE guidance on survey planning and execution.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑survey planning – confirming risk assessments, permits, competence and survey documentation.
  • During the survey – verifying containment, sampling, PPE, de‑contamination and emergency readiness.
  • Post‑survey sign‑off – ensuring the asbestos register is updated, the survey report is submitted and the area is made safe.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No answer must be addressed before work proceeds. Record the answers on site and retain the completed form as part of your asbestos management documentation, supporting compliance audits and health‑safety inspections.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your project, download as a PDF and share with your team.

Compliant with: Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012; HSG264.

What types of safety checklist can I create?

We are building specialist checklists across a wide range of subjects and industries — fire safety, workplace inspections, equipment and machinery checks, site inductions, vehicle checks, PPE, first aid and more. Browse by category to find the right one.

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.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

No. A checklist is a monitoring and inspection tool that complements your risk assessments and method statements — it helps confirm that controls are in place and working. Use them alongside your risk assessments.
