Risk Assessment Description:

This quad bike pre‑use safety checklist template is designed for farmers, farm workers, agricultural contractors and land‑owners to confirm that a quad bike is safe to operate before any farm work begins.

It covers essential checks including operator competence, site hazards, equipment condition, load and towing limits, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, ensuring legal duties are met and routine maintenance is recorded.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – verify the quad bike and surrounding area are safe before each use.
  • Routine inspections – spot‑check condition throughout the farming season.
  • Training reinforcement – confirm operators follow safe practices.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be corrected before the quad bike is driven.

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

The checklist can be printed or accessed on a mobile device and completed on site, providing a clear record for auditors and helping maintain compliance with PUWER throughout the farming year.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998; Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.

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.
