Risk Assessment Description:

This pre‑use inspection checklist is intended for construction plant operators to confirm that crushers and screeners are safe and ready for operation at the start of each shift. It assists in verifying that all required risk assessments, competency checks, and site conditions are in place before work begins.

The checklist covers ten key safety dimensions: planning and permits, competence and supervision, site environment, equipment guards and interlocks, dust suppression, isolation procedures, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency provisions, and post‑use completion tasks. By ticking each Yes/No/N/A item, operators ensure comprehensive compliance and reduce the risk of incidents.

Use this checklist for:

Daily pre‑use inspections of mobile jaw crushers and screeners on construction sites.
Verifying guard integrity, emergency stop functionality, and dust control systems.
Confirming operator training, PPE, and emergency response readiness.

Compliant with: PUWER 1998, Safe operation and use of mobile jaw crushers – HSE guidance, and Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. Fully editable and shareable.

How to use this checklist: print a copy for each shift, complete it before starting the crusher or screener, have the responsible supervisor have it signed, retain the record for the duration of the job, and archive it for audit or HSE inspection.
