Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for use on farms and agricultural sites to ensure that all contractors and visitors receive a comprehensive induction covering site‑specific hazards, legal responsibilities, and safe working practices. It helps farm owners and managers confirm that external workers have been briefed on risks, hold appropriate competence and insurance, and understand required permits and biosecurity measures before any activity begins.

Use this checklist for:

  • Confirming a site‑specific hazards briefing has been given.
  • Verifying valid public liability insurance and competence.
  • Ensuring any necessary permits to work are issued.
  • Checking PPE provision, emergency procedures, and biosecurity measures.
  • Documenting awareness of hazardous substances, plant safety, environmental protection, and fire safety.

The document is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt the questions to the particular conditions of your farm, such as livestock handling, pesticide use, machinery operation, and waste management. Record responses as Yes, No or N/A to demonstrate compliance.

Compliant with: the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and HSE agricultural guidance. By completing this checklist you show that reasonable steps have been taken to protect the health and safety of contractors, visitors, and farm staff in line with statutory duties.
