Risk Assessment Description:

This site fire points and extinguisher safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site supervisors and safety officers verify that fire protection equipment and locations are ready and compliant before work begins on construction sites.

It covers all key safety dimensions, including risk assessment, competence, site conditions, equipment condition, signage, emergency arrangements and make‑safe actions. The checklist aligns with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HSE guidance such as General fire safety – HSE and Fire – Construction – HSE.

During a site walk‑around, inspectors tick each question; any negative response triggers immediate corrective action and is recorded in the site fire safety log, ensuring continuous compliance and rapid response to fire hazards.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections — confirm fire points and extinguishers are correctly positioned, maintained and accessible.
  • Site safety audits — regularly verify compliance with fire safety legislation.
  • Post‑incident reviews — ensure any issues are recorded and rectified.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed immediately before work continues, and records kept for audit.

By completing this checklist regularly, you maintain a documented evidence trail that demonstrates compliance with fire safety legislation and supports audit readiness.

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

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; General fire safety – HSE; Fire – Construction – HSE.

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.
