Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is intended for farmers, farm workers, stockpersons, agricultural contractors and estate/land workers who carry out routine inspections of silage clamps on agricultural sites. It provides a practical, step‑by‑step tool to verify that the clamp is safe for use and that associated hazards are controlled.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing clamp‑face and wall stability
  • Checking vehicle stability on the clamp
  • Identifying the presence of hazardous silage gases
  • Detecting effluent leaks or runoff
  • Verifying that appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) is used
  • Confirming emergency procedures are in place

This ensures that all critical safety aspects are systematically reviewed and documented, supporting compliance with legal duties and best practice, and reduces the risk of accidents.

How to use: Complete each question before commencing any work on the clamp. Record a “Yes”, “No” or “N/A” answer and take corrective action where required. The checklist can be printed, edited or shared electronically with colleagues and safety representatives.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and Agriculture (Health and Safety) Regulations 1999. All checks should be carried out before any work is undertaken on the clamp. The checklist is fully editable and shareable.
