Risk Assessment Description:

This fragile roof working safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, tilers and site supervisors confirm that work on or near fragile roof surfaces is carried out safely.

It supports the planning stage, confirms competence, assesses site conditions, identifies task‑specific hazards, checks access equipment, ensures appropriate personal protective equipment, implements collective safety measures, and outlines emergency and welfare provisions. The checklist aligns with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and incorporates HSE guidance HSG33 – Health and Safety in Roof Work.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task checks – confirm risk assessment, training and equipment before work begins.
  • During‑task monitoring – ensure controls remain in place while working.
  • Post‑task sign‑off – verify area is clear and any issues reported.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues. The checklist also prompts you to verify that exclusion zones are in place, that fragile roof components are protected, and that rescue arrangements are ready.

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

When using the checklist, discuss each item with the crew, note any No responses, and implement corrective actions immediately. Keep the completed form on site for inspection and future reference.

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; HSG33 – Health and Safety in Roof Work.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

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.
