Risk Assessment Description:

This construction dust control safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site managers, supervisors and operatives manage hazardous dust hazards on construction projects.

It covers risk assessment, competence, site conditions, dust source identification, suppression and extraction methods, respiratory protection, housekeeping, waste handling and exposure monitoring, referencing the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and HSE construction dust guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task planning – confirm assessments, controls and training are in place before work starts.
  • During work – verify that dust control measures remain effective throughout the activity.
  • Completion – ensure area is clean, waste is disposed of and monitoring records are updated.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before work proceeds or continued.

The checklist is used at the start of each dust‑generating operation, during the work and after completion. For each question the responsible person marks Yes, No or N/A. Any No response triggers immediate corrective action, such as adjusting controls, providing additional training or halting the work until the issue is resolved. Records of the answers are kept as part of the site safety documentation.

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.

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?

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.
