Risk Assessment Description:

This plaster and cement handling safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, plasterers, decorators and site supervisors ensure safe handling of plaster and cement products on construction sites.

It covers all key safety areas including risk assessments, competence, site conditions, manual handling, dust control, skin protection, personal protective equipment and emergency procedures. The checklist complies with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and relevant HSE guidance on construction dust and manual handling, including HSE Guidance: Controlling Dust on Construction Sites (HSG51).

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre-task checks – confirm hazards are controlled before work starts.
  • Site inspections – verify ongoing compliance during plaster and cement work.
  • Post-task sign‑off – ensure the area is clean and equipment is stored safely.

To use this checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item. Record any No responses and take immediate corrective action before proceeding. The completed form should be retained as evidence of compliance.

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

This tool is intended for daily use on construction sites. It enables supervisors to quickly verify that control measures are in place and that any non‑compliance is corrected before work continues. The checklist aligns with the 10‑dimension safety framework and supports ongoing compliance monitoring.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996.

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.
