Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist assists event staff in safely inspecting and operating portable power generators, heating appliances and associated electrical cabling within marquees at weddings, festivals and other functions. It guides you through the critical safety steps required to protect personnel, equipment and the public from fire, explosion, electrocution and environmental hazards.

Compliance with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) is central to the safe handling of fuel‑powered generators and heaters. The checklist also reflects broader health‑and‑safety duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, ensuring that risk assessments, competence checks and emergency provisions are in place.

Use this checklist during three key phases: pre‑event set‑up, daily operational checks while the event runs, and post‑event shutdown and make‑safe activities. Each question is a closed Yes/No/N/A check that can be answered quickly on site, allowing you to record compliance and act immediately if an issue is identified.

Benefits include a systematic approach to verifying fuel storage, earthing, ventilation and fire‑extinguishing provisions; reduced risk of accidental fire or explosion; assurance that only trained operators handle equipment; and documentation that demonstrates due diligence to insurers and regulators.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event set‑up of generators and heaters
  • Daily operational checks during the event
  • Post‑event shutdown and make‑safe procedures

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit specific equipment models or venue requirements.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

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.
