Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for refurbishment and renovation projects in occupied buildings, ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation and best practice. It is fully editable and shareable, allowing site teams to adapt it to specific project needs.

Use this checklist for:

  • Identifying asbestos hazards in pre‑2000 structures
  • Managing dust and hazardous substances under COSHH
  • Assessing structural stability and installing temporary works
  • Isolating services safely
  • Coordinating work in occupied premises

How to use: Review each question before starting work, record a Yes, No or N/A answer, and take corrective action where required. Keep the completed checklist on site for inspection.

The checklist should be reviewed by the site manager and the nominated CDM coordinator before work commences. Record any actions required and ensure they are completed prior to starting the task. This document supports compliance with the CDM Regulations 2015 and the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, and demonstrates due diligence for health and safety inspections.

Compliant with: CDM Regulations 2015, Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, COSHH, and relevant HSE guidance on construction safety.

This document should be kept up‑to‑date, with any changes logged and communicated to operatives, ensuring ongoing compliance throughout the project. Regularly review the checklist against site observations and emerging risks to maintain relevance.
