Risk Assessment Description:

This Rolling Road Dyno Safety Checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps vehicle technicians and mechanics confirm that the dyno testing equipment and surrounding area are safe before use in a motor trade workshop.

It covers planning, competence, site conditions, equipment condition, exhaust extraction, guarding, emergency stop and fire safety, referencing the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and related HSE guidance.

The checklist ensures that all legal and best‑practice requirements are met, supporting safe operation of the dyno and protecting staff from mechanical, electrical and environmental hazards.

Compliance with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) requires regular inspection, maintenance and testing of all work equipment, including specialised test rigs such as rolling road dynos. This checklist helps you meet those duties by providing a systematic pre‑use review of the dyno’s mechanical, hydraulic and electrical safety features, as well as the surrounding work environment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspection of the rolling road dyno and its safety devices.
  • Periodic site safety audits of the dyno testing area.
  • Toolbox briefings on dyno safety procedures.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before testing begins, and records should be kept for audit purposes.

To use the checklist, the technician reviews each question, marks the response, and takes immediate corrective action for any No answer before proceeding with the dyno test. Completed checklists are retained as part of the workshop’s safety records.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.
