Risk Assessment Description:

This rainscreen cladding installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bricklayers, roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, tilers, fitters and site supervisors ensure safe working practices when fixing external cladding panels on multi‑storey buildings.

It covers all ten safety dimensions, including competence, planning, weather, manual handling, cutting, exclusion zones, dropped‑object prevention, work at height, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements. The checklist complies with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 as well as relevant HSE guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm risk assessments, permits and weather suitability before work begins.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify safe handling of panels, cutting tools and exclusion zones while work is underway.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the work area is clear, waste removed and tools stored safely.

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

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item, record any No responses and take corrective action before continuing. Keep the completed form on site for inspection and retain records for CDM compliance.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015.

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.

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.
