Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑shift inspections of roll cages and cage trolley in retail stockrooms, supermarkets and market stalls.
  • Ensuring equipment complies with safety standards before loading and moving stock.
  • Identifying defects that could cause injury to staff or customers.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

This checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to the specific layout of your store, the type of merchandise handled, and the frequency of use. By following these questions you help prevent accidents caused by faulty wheels, unstable cages, overloaded trolleys, or damaged gates, protecting both employees and the public.

Regular inspections reduce the risk of slips, trips and falls caused by unstable or damaged equipment, and ensure that load limits are respected, which is vital in busy retail settings where heavy stock is moved frequently. The questions below cover the condition of wheels and brakes, the integrity of cages and gates, load limits, overall stability, and additional safety aspects such as PPE, emergency procedures and housekeeping.

Use this checklist as part of your routine safety planning, record any findings and take corrective action before the start of the shift to maintain a safe working environment.
