Risk Assessment Description:

This Plumbing COSHH safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers manage hazardous substances such as fluxes, solvents and cleaners safely on site.

It covers all key areas required by the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and HSE COSHH guidance, including competence, environment, substance handling, PPE, collective controls, emergency provisions and post‑task housekeeping.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task checks – confirm risk assessments, training and safe storage before work begins.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify correct handling, ventilation and PPE during the job.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure waste disposal, area cleanup and record updates.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before continuing work.

When using the checklist, tick Yes for items that meet the requirement. If a No is recorded, stop the task immediately, implement the necessary control measures such as improving ventilation, providing additional PPE or revising the risk assessment, and record corrective actions in the incident log before resuming work.

This template supports consistent safe practice, reduces the risk of chemical exposure and provides clear evidence for compliance audits.

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; HSE COSHH guidance.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
