Risk Assessment Description:

This farm chemical and pesticide store safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors verify that chemical storage areas are safe, compliant and ready for use.

It covers all key aspects of a safe store inspection – from risk assessment and staff competence, through site conditions, ventilation, secure and labelled storage, segregation of incompatibles, bunding, spill kits, signage and PPE, to emergency procedures, waste handling, fire safety and regular maintenance. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and HSE guidance for agricultural pesticide storage.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection checks – confirm the store meets legal and best‑practice requirements before each season.
  • Routine site inspections – spot‑check storage conditions during normal operations.
  • Audit and compliance reviews – support audits, inspections and record‑keeping.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before chemicals are accessed or used.

To use the checklist, walk the store with a competent person, marking Yes, No or N/A for each question. Record any No responses and take corrective action before any chemicals are accessed or used.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to 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.
