Risk Assessment Description:

This rendering safety checklist template is designed for bricklayers, plasterers, decorators and site supervisors to ensure safe execution of rendering works on construction sites.

It guides you through pre‑start checks covering risk assessment, competence, weather, scaffold stability, manual handling, control of cement, lime and silica dust, PPE provision and emergency arrangements. The checklist references the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 together with current HSE guidance on construction dust and working at height.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start verification – confirm that all documents, permits and controls are in place before work begins.
  • Site inspections – carry out spot‑checks during the day to maintain safety standards.
  • Toolbox briefings – reinforce safe mixing, handling and working at height practices.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any “No” answer must be resolved before the activity proceeds. Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002; Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Review the checklist with the crew at the start of each shift, record any deviations and corrective actions, and retain the completed forms as part of the site safety file for inspection by HSE or client auditors.

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.
