Risk Assessment Description:

This MOT brake roller tester safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps MOT testers in vehicle workshops, dealerships and MOT bays ensure the brake roller tester is safe, calibrated and ready for use before each testing session.

It covers all key areas required for safe operation, including risk assessment, competence, work‑area conditions, equipment condition, calibration status, emergency stop functionality and PPE. The checklist aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and HSE guidance on equipment inspection.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the brake roller tester and surrounding area are safe before testing begins.
  • In‑process checks – verify critical functions during the testing session.
  • Post‑use sign‑off – ensure the equipment is powered down, cleaned and ready for the next test.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the tester is used.

To use the checklist, the authorised tester should complete it at the start of each shift, record any non‑compliances and take corrective action before proceeding with brake testing.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998; 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?

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?

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.
