Risk Assessment Description:

This site roadway and haul route safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site managers and supervisors ensure that traffic routes on construction sites are safe for vehicles and pedestrians before work begins and throughout the day.

It covers all key aspects of site traffic management, including risk assessments, competence, ground condition, drainage, gradient, edge protection, signage, speed control, segregation, vehicle condition, PPE and emergency provisions. The checklist references the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 as the core legislative framework.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – verify the route is safe before traffic begins.
  • Daily inspections – confirm conditions remain safe during the shift.
  • Post‑shift reviews – ensure the route is clear and any hazards are recorded.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be corrected before traffic is allowed to use the route.

To use the checklist, walk the route, answer each question, and record any non‑compliance. Immediate corrective action must be taken and documented before traffic resumes.

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.
