Risk Assessment Description:

This farm fire extinguisher and alarm safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers, stockpersons and agricultural contractors ensure fire protection equipment is ready and compliant on agricultural premises.

It covers essential fire safety measures specific to farms, including appropriate extinguisher types for livestock buildings, fuel stores and machinery sheds, correct placement and signage, regular pressure and service checks, and reliable alarm operation across barns, outbuildings and outdoor work areas. The checklist also addresses fire risk assessments, responsible person duties, staff training, escape routes, PPE, and record keeping.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection checks – confirm extinguishers and alarms are fit for use before the start of the working day.
  • Routine inspections – conduct monthly or quarterly reviews of fire safety equipment on the farm.
  • Audit and compliance – demonstrate to inspectors that fire safety duties are being met.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed immediately and recorded before the equipment is returned to service.

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

To use this checklist, read each question, answer Yes, No or N/A, and take immediate corrective action for any No response. Record the answers in the farm’s fire safety log and retain it for inspection.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
