Risk Assessment Description:

This monthly construction site safety audit checklist template helps site managers and safety officers verify that all health and safety arrangements on a construction site are maintained throughout the month.

It covers the full range of safety dimensions, including up‑to‑date risk assessments, Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 compliance, permits, training records, site conditions, high‑risk activity controls, plant certification, hazardous substances, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency provisions and the recording of corrective actions. The checklist aligns with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 requirements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑audit verification – confirm that documentation, training and plant checks are current before the monthly review.
  • On‑site inspection – walk the site and tick each item as Yes, No or N/A.
  • Corrective action tracking – log any non‑conformances and assign remediation.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be investigated and resolved before the next audit period. The checklist can be printed, completed on‑site and stored digitally.

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

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
