Risk Assessment Description:

This fuel tanker delivery safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps forecourt staff ensure safe receipt, off‑loading and handling of petrol or diesel from road tankers at vehicle service sites.

It covers competence, exclusion zones, ignition control, tanker positioning, grounding, hose connections, spill containment, PPE and emergency arrangements. The checklist complies with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 and relevant HSE guidance L133 – Unloading petrol from road tankers.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑delivery checks – confirm the site and personnel are ready before the tanker arrives.
  • During delivery – monitor the off‑loading process and control hazards in real time.
  • Post‑delivery sign‑off – verify that the area is clear, records are completed and the tanker has left safely.

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

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

Use the checklist on a tablet or printed sheet, ticking Yes for compliant items; any No response should trigger immediate corrective action and a review before continuing work.

Compliant with: Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002; Health and Safety Executive guidance L133 – Unloading petrol from road tankers.

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?

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.
