Risk Assessment Description:

This pointing and repointing safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, plasterers and site supervisors ensure safe execution of mortar work on building facades and interiors.

It covers planning, competence, site conditions, task‑specific hazards such as silica dust from raking and grinding, cement and lime exposure, hand‑arm vibration, working at height, and the required personal protective equipment. The checklist references the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm risk assessments, method statements and controls are in place before work begins.
  • During‑work monitoring – verify that controls such as dust extraction and RPE remain effective.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the area is clean, waste is disposed of and tools are stored safely.

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

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

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

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?

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.
