Risk Assessment Description:

This farm fertiliser store inspection safety checklist provides farmers, farm workers, stockpersons and agricultural contractors with a practical tool to verify safe storage of fertilisers on agricultural premises.

It covers essential checks across planning and documentation, competence and training, site environment, specific hazards such as ammonium nitrate segregation and fire risk, storage containers and equipment, substance handling, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and final make‑safe steps. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and HSE guidance for dangerous substances on farms.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑store inspections before new fertiliser deliveries.
  • Routine monthly inspections of storage conditions and security.
  • Audit of compliance ahead of official farm inspections.

When completing the checklist, answer Yes, No or N/A for each question. Record any No responses and implement corrective actions before storing or using fertiliser. Keep the completed form in the store office and review it during routine audits.

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

The checklist can be printed for on‑site completion or saved digitally, providing documented evidence of compliance for health and safety inspections and regulatory audits.

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

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?

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

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.
