Risk Assessment Description:

This Securing the Site Against Children and Unauthorised Access checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site managers, supervisors and security staff ensure construction sites are safe from unauthorised entry, especially protecting children, during all phases of work.

It covers a comprehensive range of checks including risk assessments, site fencing, gates, signage, lighting, barriers, plant immobilisation, hazardous material storage, and out‑of‑hours procedures. The checklist aligns with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE public protection guidance on site security.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑start site security checks – confirm boundaries and controls are in place before work begins.
Daily inspections – verify that fences, gates and plant remain secure throughout the day.
Out‑of‑hours sign‑off – ensure the site is made safe before leaving for the night.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the site is left unsecured or work continues.

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

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; HSE public protection guidance.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

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.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
