Risk Assessment Description:

This falling objects onto public safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps riggers and working‑at‑height crews ensure that all equipment, tools and materials suspended over a crowd at events are secured and that appropriate exclusion zones are in place.

It covers the full range of safety checks including risk assessment and method statements, competence and training of personnel, site conditions, inspection of lifting equipment under the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER), tool tethering, secondary safety devices, barriers, signage, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm risk assessments, equipment condition and exclusion zones before work starts.
  • During‑work monitoring – verify that tools remain tethered and secondary safeguards are active.
  • Post‑work review – ensure the area is cleared and records are updated.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work proceeds or immediately corrected if it occurs during the task.

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

Compliant with: Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER); Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
