Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for farmers, farm workers and contractors who regularly inspect grain storage facilities on agricultural premises. It helps ensure the store is safe from common grain‑related hazards such as engulfment, dust explosions, equipment failure and fire. Regular inspections reduce the risk of grain dust explosions, protect personnel from suffocation, and maintain the structural integrity of storage bins.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying entry control and engulfment safeguards in grain bins.
  • Inspecting auger guarding, maintenance and safe operation.
  • Assessing dust control measures, respiratory protective equipment and fire prevention systems.
  • Confirming emergency routes, fire detection and suppression equipment are functional.
  • Ensuring competence, training and permit‑to‑work procedures are in place.

How to use: walk through the grain store and answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Record any non‑compliances and take corrective action before work continues. Document the date, inspector name and any corrective actions taken, and review the findings at the next safety meeting. The checklist supports compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and reinforces key safety facts such as engulfment hazards, dust explosion risk and fire safety.

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

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.
