Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports the safe scrutineering and technical inspection of vehicles and equipment used in the motorsport paddock and trackside environments at concerts, festivals and other large events. It ensures that all critical safety aspects are verified before vehicles are released for operation, protecting personnel, spectators and assets.

Use this checklist to carry out a systematic pre‑use inspection of race cars, support vehicles and heavy plant. It guides inspectors through verification of fuel and battery systems, hydraulic and moving parts, lifting points, stabilisation measures and the presence of appropriate fire‑fighting equipment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspection of race cars, support vehicles and heavy plant
  • Verification of fuel, battery and hydraulic systems
  • Inspection of lifting points, stabilisation and moving parts
  • Ensuring fire‑fighting equipment is present and operational

Key checks include confirming vehicle stability on level ground, securing fuel tanks, inspecting battery mounts, examining hydraulic hoses, verifying ROPS/FOPS condition, checking lifting point integrity and ensuring operators are competent and authorised. The checklist also covers environmental factors such as weather and site clearance.

All inspections must be carried out in line with the duties set out in the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and the supporting HSE guidance on equipment safety. Inspectors should also reference the broader health and safety framework provided by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 to ensure comprehensive compliance.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit the specific event layout, vehicle types and organisational procedures.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). All inspections should be performed in line with the duties set out in PUWER and relevant HSE guidance.
