Risk Assessment Description:

This glazing and glass installation safety checklist template from the Health & Safety sector helps supervisors, operatives and site managers ensure safe handling, installation and fixing of glass units on construction sites.

It covers all key safety areas for glass work, including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, manual handling of heavy glass, use of suction pads and lifting aids, edge protection, working at height, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements. It references the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 together with HSE guidance on safe handling of flat glass.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use and set‑up checks before glass installation begins.
  • Site inspections during the glazing works.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off and make‑safe verification.

When using this checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item. Any No response must be addressed immediately, with corrective action recorded before work proceeds. The completed checklist should be retained as evidence of compliance and reviewed by the site supervisor.

To use the checklist, review each item before work starts, record a Yes, No or N/A answer, and immediately address any No responses. Keep the completed form on site for inspection and future reference.

The checklist aligns with current industry best practice and can be integrated into daily pre‑start briefings.

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

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992; Work at Height Regulations 2005.

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.
