Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for safely entering and working in confined spaces such as farm storage tanks and pits. It helps to assess hazards, ensure proper ventilation and gas testing, confirm rescue arrangements, and verify permit compliance before any work begins.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing atmospheric conditions before entry
  • Verifying that a confined space entry permit is completed
  • Confirming ventilation and rescue provisions
  • Ensuring appropriate personal protective equipment is used
  • Checking that all ignition sources are controlled

The checklist supports compliance with the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. It also aligns with guidance from HSE on safe entry and rescue procedures, and with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 duties to protect workers.

Before entry, a qualified person must complete a permit, conduct gas testing for oxygen, flammable and toxic gases, and ensure results are within safe limits as defined by the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997. Continuous ventilation must be provided where required, and a trained standby/rescue team must be on site. All entrants should wear suitable PPE and be briefed on the rescue plan.

The checklist can be printed, filled in on site or completed electronically. It provides a clear record for auditors and helps farm managers demonstrate compliance during inspections.

Compliant with: Confined Spaces Regulations 1997; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Fully editable and shareable.
