Risk Assessment Description:

This plastering safety checklist template assists plasterers, dry‑liners and site supervisors in managing the key hazards associated with plastering work on construction sites and refurbishment projects.

It covers competence, manual handling, work at height, dust control, tool safety, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, as well as HSE guidance on construction dust.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task preparation – verify risk assessments, training and controls are in place before mixing or applying plaster.
  • During work – monitor dust exposure, platform stability and safe handling practices.
  • Post‑task sign‑off – ensure the area is tidy, waste is managed and equipment is stored safely.

The checklist is intended to be reviewed at the start of each plastering operation, with a competent supervisor confirming each item before work begins.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be resolved before work continues.

Keep the completed checklist on site for inspections and retain it as part of the project’s health‑and‑safety records.

Regular health surveillance should be arranged for workers regularly exposed to plaster dust to detect early signs of respiratory irritation or dermatitis.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

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?

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.
