Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring safe movement of vehicles within forecourt areas of motor trade premises, including service bays, tyre fitting bays, MOT stations and car dealerships.
  • Preventing pedestrian‑vehicle collisions, vehicle roll‑away incidents, and slip hazards caused by spills.
  • Verifying that traffic management, signage, and blind‑spot controls are in place and effective.
  • Confirming that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and emergency procedures are available.

This checklist helps to control risks such as pedestrian‑vehicle collisions, vehicle roll‑away, spills and slips, and blind‑spot hazards. It is designed to be used by forecourt staff before any vehicle movement begins and can be completed on paper or digitally.

How it is used: The responsible forecourt supervisor or designated staff member should walk the forecourt, answer each question with Yes, No or N/A, and record any actions required. Completed checklists should be retained for at least 12 months as part of your safety documentation.

Compliance with legal duties ensures that any incident can be traced to a documented control process, supporting both employee safety and regulatory inspections.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Work at Height Regulations 2005, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER)

Fully editable and shareable.
