Risk Assessment Description:

This sheet piling safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps site supervisors and operatives ensure safe installation and extraction of sheet piles during groundworks.

It covers all essential safety aspects including risk assessment, method statements, permits, competence, ground and weather conditions, exclusion zones, underground services, vibration and noise control, equipment inspections, PPE, collective measures, emergency arrangements and post‑work make‑safe. The checklist aligns with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, HSE Excavations guidance and the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005. It also addresses monitoring of vibration levels, noise exposure and ensures that all plant is maintained in line with manufacturers’ recommendations.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑start verification of planning, competence and site conditions before sheet piling begins.
In‑process monitoring of equipment, vibration, noise and exclusion zones during driving and extraction.
Post‑work sign‑off to confirm make‑safe, equipment isolation and record‑keeping.

To use the checklist, the supervisor reads each question, records a Yes, No or N/A response, and takes immediate corrective action for any No answer before continuing work. The completed record is retained as evidence of compliance and can be attached to the project files.

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; HSE Excavations guidance; Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005.
