Risk Assessment Description:

This cavity wall and insulation safety checklist template is designed for bricklayers, plasterers, decorators and site supervisors working on construction sites. It helps ensure that the installation of cavity wall insulation is carried out safely, protecting both workers and the finished building.

The checklist aligns with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992. It incorporates HSE guidance on managing insulation fibres, dust control, work at height and the stability of wall ties. By following the questions you will confirm that risk assessments, method statements and permits are in place, that operatives are competent, and that the work environment is suitable.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm planning, competence and site conditions before work begins.
  • In‑process inspections – monitor handling, PPE and exposure controls while installing insulation.
  • Completion sign‑off – verify the wall is stable, clean and ready for handover.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues. Record any No responses, investigate the cause and implement corrective action before proceeding to the next stage of work.

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

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.
