Risk Assessment Description:

This livestock diet feeder wagon safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps farmers, stockpersons and agricultural contractors ensure the safe operation and inspection of feed wagons before use on the farm.

It covers key areas including competence, site conditions, equipment condition, feed handling hazards, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and relevant HSE agricultural guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the wagon and its accessories are safe before each feeding operation.
  • Routine site checks – verify ongoing compliance during the feeding season.
  • Training and briefings – reinforce safe operating procedures with staff.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed before the wagon is moved or operated. The checklist supports a systematic approach to risk control, helping to prevent feed spillage, equipment failure, and injuries to operators or livestock.

Regular use of this checklist also assists in meeting legal duties, maintaining equipment reliability, and extending the service life of the feeder wagon. It encourages operators to check critical safety features such as guards, interlocks, hydraulic integrity and load stability before each use.

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each question, record any No answers and take corrective action before operating the wagon. Keep the completed form accessible for inspection and future reference.

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; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.
