Risk Assessment Description:

This farm biomass boiler safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure the safe operation and inspection of biomass boilers on agricultural sites.

It covers all essential safety dimensions including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, boiler condition, fuel‑feed and storage, flue and exhaust, carbon monoxide monitoring, hot surfaces, emergency shut‑off, personal protective equipment and fire control. The checklist complies with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and reflects HSE guidance for agricultural plant. It also aligns with best practice for fuel handling, boiler maintenance schedules and fire‑prevention measures specific to farm environments.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the boiler is safe before each operating period.
  • Routine maintenance checks – verify condition after servicing or fuel loading.
  • Incident investigations – record findings after any abnormal event.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the boiler is operated or before the next shift.

To use the checklist, print or open the digital version, read each question and select Yes, No or N/A. Record any No responses and take corrective action before operating the boiler or before the next shift. Review completed checklists regularly to confirm ongoing compliance.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
