Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for farmers, farm workers, stockpersons and agricultural contractors who carry out sheep dipping operations. It ensures that the process is performed safely, protecting personnel, animals and the environment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Preparing the dip site and equipment
  • Applying the dip to sheep
  • Managing dip waste and runoff
  • Ensuring operator competency and PPE compliance

Sheep dipping involves handling chemical dip solutions that may be hazardous if inhaled, absorbed through the skin or released into the surrounding environment. The checklist guides you through risk assessment, provision of appropriate chemical protective clothing, safe storage, spill control, emergency washing facilities and correct disposal of waste dip water. Following these steps helps you meet the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and protects the health of workers and livestock.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002

How to use: Review each item before beginning the dip, record a “Yes” when the requirement is met, “No” or “N/A” where it is not applicable, and take corrective action before proceeding. Keep the completed checklist on site for audit and future reference.

Monitor runoff: Ensure that any water leaving the dip area is collected, treated or contained to prevent contamination of drains, waterways or soil, in line with environmental protection standards.

Fully editable and shareable.
