Risk Assessment Description:

This forecourt fuel dispenser inspection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps forecourt staff verify that fuel dispensing equipment is safe, leak‑free and ready for operation before each shift.

It covers all essential safety areas for fuel dispensers, including competence, site conditions, dispenser condition, nozzle and breakaway devices, hose integrity, leak detection, emergency shutdown, PPE and fire‑risk controls. The checklist aligns with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 and HSE guidance on petrol dispensing (INDG216).

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift checks – confirm the dispenser is safe before customers use it.
  • Routine inspections – spot‑check equipment during operating hours.
  • Incident response – verify corrective actions after a leak or shutdown.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed immediately and recorded before the dispenser is returned to service.

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each question, record any No responses, investigate the cause and implement corrective action before the dispenser is returned to service. Review the checklist at the end of each shift and retain records for inspection.

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

Compliant with: Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

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.
