Risk Assessment Description:

This door hanging and installation safety checklist helps bricklayers, carpenters, joiners and site supervisors confirm that doors are fitted safely and in line with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE fire‑door guidance HSG168. It covers the whole process from planning through to completion, ensuring that all legal and practical requirements are met.

Key areas include risk assessment, competence, manual handling, use of power tools, dust control, fire‑door specifications, secure fixing and post‑installation testing. The checklist also addresses site conditions, exclusion zones, personal protective equipment and emergency provisions, providing a comprehensive tool for safe door installation on construction sites.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation planning – confirming permits, method statements and door specifications are available.
  • During installation – verifying safe manual handling, tool inspection, PPE use and site safety.
  • Post‑installation – checking door operation, fire‑door integrity and site tidy‑up.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any “No” response must be resolved before work proceeds or the door is handed over.

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

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992; HSG168 – Fire safety in construction.

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.

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?
