Risk Assessment Description:

This grain store fumigation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, farm workers and contractors ensure safe and compliant fumigation of grain stores.

It covers planning, competence, site preparation, fumigant handling, personal protective equipment, monitoring, emergency measures and post‑fumigation clearance, referencing the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and relevant HSE guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑fumigation checks – confirm risk assessments, sealing and signage are in place.
  • During fumigation – verify equipment operation, gas monitoring and PPE.
  • Post‑fumigation clearance – ensure re‑entry testing and safe storage.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding or before re‑entry.

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

The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, ensuring statutory duties such as risk assessment, control measures and record keeping are met, and supports HSE fumigation guidance for farmers.

To use the checklist, read each question and answer Yes, No or N/A, record any No responses and take corrective action before continuing work. Keep the completed checklist with your fumigation records for audit and regulatory inspection.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

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.
