Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for farmers, farm workers, stockpersons, agricultural contractors and estate/land workers to ensure safe storage and handling of fuel and diesel on agricultural premises. Proper management of fuel stores reduces fire risk, prevents environmental contamination and protects livestock and personnel.

Use this checklist for:

  • regular inspections of fuel and diesel stores
  • verifying compliance with fire safety and environmental regulations
  • ensuring safe handling and storage practices
  • preparing for audits or inspections

The checklist covers bunding integrity, fire separation distances, spill and pollution control measures, secure access, appropriate signage, ventilation, provision of suitable personal protective equipment, fire‑fighting equipment, leak detection, staff training, emergency contact information and record‑keeping of inspections.

How to use: complete the checklist on a routine basis (e.g., monthly) and answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Record any findings and corrective actions in the logbook. Review the results with your health and safety representative and ensure any non‑conformities are addressed promptly.

Implementing the checklist helps meet legal duties, reduces insurance premiums and supports sustainable farm management.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Fire Safety (Regulatory Reform) Order 2005.

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