Risk Assessment Description:

This farm irrigation system safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and agricultural contractors ensure irrigation equipment and associated electrical installations are safe to operate.

It covers all essential safety areas including a written risk assessment, competent personnel, site conditions, pressurised water lines, electrical equipment near water, pump guarding, control panel integrity, earthing, residual‑current device testing, and emergency provisions. The checklist aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and reflects best practice guidance for agricultural water management, including safe handling of fertiliser or chemical additives and protection against water‑related slip hazards.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – confirm the irrigation system is safe before each operation.
  • Routine inspections – carry out scheduled checks to maintain safety and performance.
  • Compliance audits – verify adherence to legal duties and farm safety policies.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be resolved before the system is used or before the next work shift.

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

To use the checklist, tick the appropriate response for each item, record any observations, and take immediate corrective action for any “No” answers. Keep the completed form with your irrigation logbook for future reference and audit.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989;

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?

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.
