Risk Assessment Description:

This concrete cutting and breaking safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site supervisors and operatives ensure safe execution of concrete cutting and breaking tasks on construction groundworks.

It covers all essential safety aspects including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, silica dust control, water suppression, respiratory protective equipment, noise and vibration exposure, underground services, edge protection, exclusion zones, tool condition, and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, as well as HSE guidance on concrete work.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm the area, equipment and personnel are ready before work begins.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify ongoing control of dust, noise, vibration and stability during cutting.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the site is left safe and clean after work.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed before the task proceeds or before the site is cleared.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; HSE concrete safety guidance.

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

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.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

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.
