Risk Assessment Description:

This construction fire safety inspection checklist helps site managers and supervisors verify that fire risks are controlled and emergency arrangements are ready before work proceeds.

It covers essential areas including a current fire risk assessment, control of ignition sources, safe storage of flammables, appropriate fire extinguishers, clear escape routes, alarm provisions, hot‑work controls and the availability of firefighting water supplies. The checklist complies with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 as well as HSE guidance on construction fire safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start site fire safety verification
  • Regular site inspections and audits
  • Post‑hot‑work sign‑off and make‑safe confirmation

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before work continues or the area is left.

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

This tool is designed to be simple to use on daily rounds or during specific hot‑work tasks. Record responses on site, flag any non‑compliance immediately and ensure corrective actions are taken before the next shift. Regular review of the logbook supports continuous improvement and audit readiness.

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
