Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for use in motor vehicle repair workshops, body shops, tyre bays, MOT stations and any vehicle service environment where MIG welding sets are used. It provides a systematic approach to verify that welding equipment, gas supplies, extraction systems and protective barriers are safe and ready for operation.

It covers the condition of torches, cables and gas cylinders, the correct set‑up of regulators and pressure settings, the functionality of fume extraction and the presence of suitable fire‑fighting equipment. It also ensures that operators are competent and that any required permits or risk assessments are in place before work begins.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑weld equipment inspections
  • Ensuring gas supply safety
  • Verifying fume extraction performance
  • Confirming personal protective equipment readiness

The checklist supports a systematic risk assessment approach, helping you to identify hazards before welding begins and to maintain records for HSE inspections.

The checklist should be completed before each welding session and retained as part of the workshop’s safety records. Any item marked ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ must be addressed immediately to prevent accidents, exposure to hazardous fumes or fire risk.

Compliant with: HSG261 Health and Safety in Motor Vehicle Repair, PUWER 1998, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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