Risk Assessment Description:

This flammable liquids and gas cylinder storage safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps construction site managers and supervisors verify that hazardous liquids and gas cylinders are stored safely and in compliance with UK regulations.

It covers risk assessment, competence, storage conditions, segregation of oxygen and fuel gases, spill containment, fire‑extinguishing provisions, signage, PPE, emergency arrangements and regular inspections, referencing the DSEAR 2002 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 together with HSE best‑practice guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑storage checks – confirm the area and containers are ready before any liquids or cylinders are placed.
  • Daily site inspections – spot‑check storage conditions and controls during construction work.
  • Post‑work sign‑off – ensure the area is left clean, secure and compliant after use.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed immediately before work continues or the site is handed over.

The checklist is completed on site by the appointed supervisor, who records any corrective actions for items marked No and retains the signed record for inspection. It can be printed or used digitally on a tablet, with results logged in the site safety file.

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

Compliant with: DSEAR 2002; Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; HSE storage of flammable liquids guidance.

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?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
