Risk Assessment Description:

This concrete poker vibrator pre-use safety checklist template helps site supervisors and operatives confirm that the vibrator and its accessories are safe to use before each concrete pour.

It aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005, and follows HSE guidance on hand‑arm vibration control.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – verify the vibrator, hose and poker head are fit for service.
  • Site inspections – spot‑check plant condition during the project.
  • Toolbox briefings – reinforce safe handling and vibration control.

The checklist is completed by a competent person before each use. Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be corrected before the vibrator is operated.

Recording the completed checklist demonstrates compliance with PUWER 1998 and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 during HSE inspections or client audits, and supports the employer’s duty to manage hand‑arm vibration risk.

It also provides a clear audit trail for maintenance, helps identify recurring faults, and can be stored digitally or in hard copy as part of the plant inspection log, ensuring rapid access for health‑and‑safety officers.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER); Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005; HSE hand‑arm vibration guidance.
