Risk Assessment Description:

This fencing, hoarding and perimeter build safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps event site crews ensure that temporary barriers, fences and hoarding are installed and maintained safely for concerts, festivals and other large gatherings.

It covers essential safety aspects including planning, competence, ground conditions, wind stability, manual handling, public protection, signage, lighting and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE event‑barrier guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑construction checks – verify design, permits and site conditions before erecting barriers.
  • During‑event inspections – monitor stability, public interaction and ongoing hazards.
  • Post‑event removal – confirm safe dismantling, storage and site clearance.

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

The checklist should be completed by the appointed site supervisor before any work begins and reviewed at regular intervals throughout the event. Any item marked No must be addressed immediately, with corrective action recorded. This systematic approach helps prevent barrier collapse, trips, and injuries to staff and the public.

It also supports record‑keeping for compliance audits, demonstrating that risk assessments, method statements and safety checks have been carried out in line with statutory duties.

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

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
