Risk Assessment Description:

This farm walkaround inspection safety checklist template helps farmers, farm workers and contractors verify that the farm environment and equipment are safe before daily operations begin.

It covers key safety areas including risk assessments, staff competence, yard traffic routes, ground conditions, machinery guarding, fuel and chemical storage, personal protective equipment and emergency provisions. It references the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and aligns with HSE agricultural guidance.

To use the checklist, walk the farm perimeter, answer each question with Yes, No or N/A, and promptly address any No responses before work starts. The record can be kept as a paper log or digital file for audit and continuous improvement.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start walk‑around checks – confirm the farm site is safe each day.
  • Routine safety audits – spot‑check conditions during the season.
  • Training and briefings – demonstrate safe practices to staff and visitors.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work proceeds.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Maintain the checklist as a living document; review it after any incident, seasonal change or when new equipment is introduced to ensure ongoing relevance and compliance.

Keep the completed checklist in a central location and retain it for at least three years as evidence of your farm’s health and 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.
