Risk Assessment Description:

This drywall and plasterboard dry lining safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps operatives and supervisors confirm that manual handling, dust control, power‑tool use and work at height are safely managed before and during dry lining work.

It aligns with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and COSHH Regulations 2002, and follows HSE guidance on construction dust control. The checklist covers planning and documentation, competence, site conditions, task‑specific hazards, equipment checks, substance controls, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and completion steps.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task preparation – confirm risk assessments, permits, method statements and dust controls are in place.
  • On‑site inspections – verify safe handling, tool condition, PPE and work‑at‑height measures.
  • Post‑task sign‑off – ensure waste removal, equipment storage and site clearance.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed before work proceeds or before the task is considered complete. The checklist supports compliance, reduces the risk of injury and helps maintain a tidy, safe work environment.

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

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992; COSHH Regulations 2002.

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.
