Risk Assessment Description:

Fully editable and shareable, this checklist ensures that every new or young farm worker receives a thorough induction that meets legal requirements and best practice for agricultural environments.

It covers age‑appropriate machinery use, supervision, competence verification, personal protective equipment (PPE) provision, safe handling of livestock, chemicals, manual loads and farm vehicles, as well as site‑specific hazards such as slurry pits, traffic routes and environmental risks.

The checklist also addresses common agricultural hazards including exposure to dust, noise from machinery, and the safe storage of feed and fertilisers, helping to protect both young workers and the wider farm community. The induction also includes guidance on safe use of tractors and implements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Confirming that all legal and safety requirements are met before a new or young farm worker begins duties on the farm.
  • Verifying that appropriate supervision, training and competence sign‑offs are in place for under‑age workers.
  • Ensuring that suitable PPE is issued and that emergency procedures are understood.

How to use: the responsible supervisor or manager should complete each question with a Yes, No or N/A response before the worker commences duties. Record any actions required and retain the completed checklist as part of the worker’s training file. Review and update the checklist whenever new tasks or hazards are introduced.

Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

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.
