Risk Assessment Description:

This concrete pump pre-use safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plant supervisors and operatives verify that a concrete pump is safe and ready for daily operation on construction sites.

It covers all essential checks across planning, competence, site conditions, task hazards, equipment condition, substances, PPE, collective safeguards, emergency provisions and make‑safe steps. The checklist aligns with the PUWER 1998 and references relevant HSE guidance for plant and lifting equipment.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑use inspections — confirm the pump and its accessories are in safe working order before each shift.
Site safety audits — spot‑check pump setup during the day.
Toolbox briefings — reinforce safe pump operation and hazard awareness.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be resolved before the pump is operated.

To use the checklist, the operator marks Yes, No or N/A for each item. Any No answer must be addressed before the pump is started, and the completed form should be retained as evidence of compliance.

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

This checklist also aids audit readiness, providing documented evidence of compliance with PUWER 1998 and LOLER 1998 where lifting components apply.

Compliant with: PUWER 1998; LOLER 1998 where lifting components apply.

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.
