Risk Assessment Description:

This grain dryer safety checklist template helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure safe operation of grain drying equipment on agricultural sites.

It covers all key safety aspects including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, dust‑explosion controls, hot‑surface safeguards, gas‑burner condition, equipment guards, PPE and emergency measures. The checklist aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and relevant HSE guidance on grain dust hazards.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the dryer is safe before starting each drying cycle.
  • Routine site inspections – verify ongoing compliance during operation.
  • Post‑use make‑safe checks – ensure the equipment is shut down, cleaned and recorded after use.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A, any No response must be addressed before work proceeds.

To use the checklist, the operator marks each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any No response triggers immediate corrective action before the dryer is started or continued. Completed checklists should be filed with the equipment maintenance log and reviewed by the farm manager.

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

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