Risk Assessment Description:

This pneumatic breaker pre‑use safety checklist template from a leading health and safety resource helps supervisors and operatives confirm that a pneumatic breaker and its associated equipment are safe before demolition or concrete breaking work.

It covers essential checks including risk assessment, operator competence, work‑area conditions, detailed tool inspection, air‑hose and pneumatic‑whip condition, noise and vibration exposure, personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness. The checklist references the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998), the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005 as the governing legislation.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑use inspections – verify the pneumatic breaker and accessories are safe before each use.
Site safety audits – confirm safe practices during demolition or breaking activities.
Toolbox briefings – reinforce safe handling, noise and vibration controls.

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

The checklist can be printed or completed digitally on site to maintain an audit trail.

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

Compliant with: PUWER 1998; Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005; Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

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.
