Risk Assessment Description:

This risk assessment review safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps managers and safety reps confirm their risk assessments remain suitable, sufficient and up to date across any workplace and industry.

It covers whether assessments cover all activities and people at risk, remain valid after changes, incidents or new equipment, reflect current controls, are communicated to staff, and have a review date. It references the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Use this checklist for:

Periodic review — confirm each risk assessment is reviewed on schedule
Change triggers — check assessments after incidents, new tasks or equipment
Communication — verify findings and controls are shared with those affected

Work through each question and answer Yes, No or N/A. Any No answer flags an action to resolve, so you can record findings, assign follow-up and keep a clear audit trail for audits and inspections. The template is straightforward enough for any manager, supervisor or safety representative to complete without specialist training, and it gives a consistent, repeatable record every time it is used. Completing it regularly helps demonstrate active monitoring and continual improvement of your health and safety arrangements.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team. Save your completed checklist and return to edit it anytime.

Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.
