Risk Assessment Description:

This raised access flooring installation safety checklist assists site supervisors, operatives and fitters to ensure the installation is carried out safely, efficiently and in line with UK legislation.

It addresses key hazards such as manual handling of heavy panels and pedestals, dust generation from cutting, trip and edge risks, and the protection of services located beneath the floor. The checklist also covers site preparation, competence, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and post‑installation make‑safe steps.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify risk assessments, training, method statements and site readiness.
  • During installation – monitor handling, dust control, equipment condition and safe access.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – confirm the floor is clean, secure and ready for service.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any “No” response must be resolved before proceeding to the next stage.

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

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992; Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

Use the checklist by recording a Yes, No or N/A response for each item; any No must be investigated and remedied before the next step. The completed record should be retained on site for inspection and can be incorporated into the project’s health and safety file.

The manual handling checks are based on the HSE publication Manual handling at work: The health and safety guide (HSG70), providing practical steps to assess load weights, use team lifts and select appropriate handling equipment.

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.
