Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Inspecting fire safety measures in barns, sheds and storage areas
  • Ensuring safe storage of hay, straw, fuel and other combustible materials
  • Verifying fire extinguishers, detection systems and clear escape routes
  • Confirming livestock evacuation procedures and emergency preparedness

This checklist helps you conduct a thorough fire risk assessment, manage hot‑work permits, verify staff competence and ensure appropriate fire‑resistant PPE is used. It supports good housekeeping, reduces ignition sources and promotes safe electrical and mechanical practices across the farm.

How to use: complete the Yes/No/N/A questions during your routine inspection, record any findings and take corrective action promptly. The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to tailor it to your farm’s layout and operations.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. Aligns with the legal requirements of the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and supports best practice for reducing farm fire risk in the agricultural sector.

Maintain records of each inspection, noting any non‑conformities and the actions taken. Review the checklist annually or whenever significant changes occur on the farm, such as new storage facilities, equipment upgrades, or changes in livestock numbers, to ensure ongoing compliance and continuous improvement in fire safety management.

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.
