Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for farmers, farm workers, stockpersons and contractors who operate or maintain anaerobic digesters on agricultural premises. It provides a structured set of verification steps to help manage risks associated with biogas production, including hazardous gases, explosion zones, confined spaces and emergency isolation procedures.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑operational inspection of farm anaerobic digesters
  • Routine safety checks of biogas generation equipment
  • Verification of gas detection, ventilation and emergency shutdown systems

How to use: Review each question on site and record a Yes, No or N/A answer. Any “No” response must trigger immediate corrective action before work continues. Keep the completed checklist with the digester’s risk assessment and maintenance records. The checklist should be reviewed after any incident, major maintenance or change in operating conditions.

Regularly review the checklist after any incident, major maintenance, or change in operating conditions. Ensure records are retained for at least three years and that any identified issues are addressed promptly to maintain safe biogas production and protect the farm environment.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR), Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, and relevant guidance on plant safety and environmental protection.

Fully editable and shareable.
