Risk Assessment Description:

This farm hot works permit safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure hot work such as welding, cutting or torching is carried out safely on agricultural premises.

It covers all essential areas including risk assessment, removal of combustible material, fire watch duties, personal protective equipment, emergency arrangements and post‑work clearance. The checklist aligns with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HSE guidance on permit‑to‑work systems.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑work planning – confirm permits, risk assessments and fire‑watch arrangements are in place.
  • During hot work – verify controls such as fire blankets, extinguishers and PPE are being used.
  • Post‑work sign‑off – ensure the area is clear, equipment is shut down and records are completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be resolved before work proceeds or before the fire watch is stood down.

Use the checklist on site by reviewing each question with the operatives before starting hot work, recording responses and taking immediate corrective action for any negative answers. The completed record should be retained for the duration of the project and reviewed before any subsequent hot‑work tasks.

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

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

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.
