Risk Assessment Description:

This leadwork and flashing safety checklist template assists bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, tilers, fitters and site supervisors in safely managing lead handling, hot‑work and work at height during construction and fit‑out projects.

The checklist addresses the key hazards of lead exposure, lead‑related hygiene, hot‑work fire risk, working at height and manual handling. It aligns with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002, and incorporates HSE guidance on lead hazards and roof work.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks before any lead or flashing work begins.
  • Ongoing site inspections during the task.
  • Post‑task sign‑off and clean‑up verification.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues or before the area is released.

Completed checklists should be retained as part of the site records, with any identified issues logged and corrective actions assigned to responsible personnel. Review the results at the end of each shift to ensure ongoing compliance.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002; HSE guidance on lead and roof work.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
