Risk Assessment Description:

This farm respiratory protection and dust control safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure that respiratory protective equipment (RPE) and dust control measures are correctly selected, maintained and used when working with grain, feed, manure, animal housing or other dusty agricultural tasks.

It covers all essential safety dimensions, including risk assessment, competence, work environment, dust hazards, equipment and RPE condition, ventilation and local exhaust extraction (LEV), PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and make‑safe actions. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and COSHH guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task inspections – verify RPE and dust control are in place before work starts.
  • Routine site audits – confirm ongoing compliance during the season.
  • Toolbox briefings – reinforce correct use of respirators and extraction systems.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be corrected before the task proceeds.

To use the checklist, tick the appropriate response for each question, note any required corrective action, and ensure all issues are resolved before work continues. Keep the completed record for audit and future reference.

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

This checklist supports farmers in meeting legal duties, reducing respiratory illness risk, improving productivity and maintaining a safe working environment.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

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.
