Risk Assessment Description:

This grain auger and conveyor safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure safe operation of grain handling equipment on agricultural sites.

It covers all essential checks including competence, work‑area conditions, dust control, equipment guards, emergency stops, isolation procedures and personal protective equipment, and aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and HSE guidance for agricultural machinery.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the auger and conveyor are safe before starting work.
  • Routine site inspections – verify ongoing compliance during the season.
  • Maintenance and hand‑over checks – record condition after use or before handing over to another operator.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before the equipment is operated.

To use the checklist, the operator marks Yes, No or N/A for each item before starting the auger or conveyor. Any No response must be investigated and corrected, with corrective action recorded, before work proceeds. The completed checklist should be retained for the duration of the operation and reviewed during routine maintenance.

By completing this checklist you can identify hazards early, prevent grain dust explosions, protect hearing and reduce the risk of mechanical injury. It supports a systematic safety culture and helps demonstrate compliance during farm inspections.

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

The checklist aligns with the risk assessment process required by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. It prompts verification that the equipment has been thoroughly examined, that any defects are recorded, and corrective actions are taken before use, supporting safe operation throughout the grain handling cycle.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.
