Risk Assessment Description:

This fire stopping and passive fire protection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators, tilers, fitters and site supervisors ensure fire protection works are carried out safely and in line with legislation.

It covers all key areas required by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, as well as HSE guidance on fire safety. The checklist addresses risk assessment, competence, safe environment, chemical handling, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and final make‑safe checks.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task checks – confirm planning, risk assessments and product approvals before work starts.
  • In‑process inspections – verify safe application of sealants, mastics and fire batts.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure work is inspected, cured and documented.

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

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

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; HSE fire safety guidance.

The checklist should be completed on site by the appointed person before work begins, during the task and after completion. Record the response for each item and take corrective action for any ‘No’ answer before proceeding. It can be printed, saved digitally or integrated into your safety management system.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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?

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
