Risk Assessment Description:

This site close-down and demobilisation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site managers and supervisors ensure a construction site is safely cleared, plant removed and handed over at the end of a project. It references the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and follows HSE demolition guidance for best practice.

The checklist covers all ten safety dimensions, from authorisation and competence through to emergency provisions and final make‑safe actions. It includes checks on utilities isolation, hazardous substance handling, plant dismantling, waste segregation, site security and welfare provisions, ensuring statutory duties are met.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑close‑down verification – confirm all risks are assessed and controls in place before work starts.
  • On‑site inspections during plant removal, waste disposal and temporary works dismantling.
  • Final hand‑over – certify the site is clear, secure and ready for the client or next phase.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding to the next stage.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your site, 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 demolition guidance.

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.

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.
