Risk Assessment Description:

This roof stripping and re‑roofing safety checklist template assists roofers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators, fitters and site supervisors in confirming that all essential safety steps are taken before, during and after roof work. It is designed for use on site with operatives ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item and supervisors reviewing any No responses before proceeding.

The checklist covers planning, competence, site conditions, asbestos management, dust control, manual handling, edge protection, plant and tools, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and make‑safe checks. It references the Work at Height Regulations 2005, the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance HSG33 Health and Safety in Roof Work. All cited legislation is highlighted in bold for quick reference.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm risk assessment, permits and asbestos survey are in place.
  • During‑work inspections – verify edge protection, dust suppression, manual handling aids, PPE and exclusion zones.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the roof is clear of debris, waste is safely stored and the area below is secure.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012; HSG33 Health and Safety in Roof Work.

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

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.
