Risk Assessment Description:

This generator and fuel management safety checklist template assists festival site crews in ensuring that generators are operated safely and fuel is stored and handled without risk of fire, explosion or carbon monoxide poisoning. It aligns with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) and HSE guidance for temporary event sites.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event checks – confirm the generator and fuel setup meet safety requirements before the festival starts.
  • On‑site inspections – verify safe operation and fuel handling throughout the event.
  • Post‑event hand‑over – ensure the generator is shut down, cooled and stored correctly after use.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues or the generator is re‑started.

The checklist covers risk assessment, competent personnel, generator placement, ventilation, carbon monoxide monitoring, earthing, fuel storage, spill containment, refuelling procedures, personal protective equipment, fire safety, emergency response and detailed equipment inspections such as oil level, coolant, fuel filter, exhaust, battery condition and safety interlocks.

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

During the event the checklist is completed at the start of each shift by the generator supervisor, with any No responses corrected before the generator is started, and a record kept for inspection.

Compliant with: Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR).

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?

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.
