Risk Assessment Description:

This flat roofing torch‑on safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps roofers, bricklayers, carpenters and site supervisors confirm that hot‑work on felt and torch‑on membranes is carried out safely before work begins.

It covers all essential checks for safe hot‑work, including competence, weather, hot‑work permits, torch equipment, gas cylinders, fire‑watch arrangements, PPE, fumes, manual handling of membrane rolls and emergency procedures. The checklist is aligned with the Work at Height Regulations 2005, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – verify hot‑work permits, equipment condition and site conditions before ignition.
  • During‑work monitoring – ensure fire‑watch, ventilation and PPE remain in place.
  • Post‑work sign‑off – confirm area is clear, equipment stored safely and records completed.

Complete the checklist on site, either on paper or a mobile device, ensuring each answer is recorded and any No response is immediately addressed before work proceeds. The supervising foreman signs off the final page.

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

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

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.
