Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports safe and compliant traffic management on construction sites. It guides supervisors, safety officers and site managers through a systematic review of traffic plans, vehicle movements, pedestrian routes and site‑specific controls.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that a written traffic management plan is in place and up‑to‑date
  • Confirming that speed limits, one‑way systems and reversing procedures are clearly communicated
  • Ensuring banksman provision, loading zones and wheel‑wash facilities are correctly managed
  • Checking that pedestrian routes, signage and barriers protect workers and visitors

The checklist should be completed by the site traffic manager before works commence and reviewed daily. Any non‑conformities must be recorded and corrective actions taken immediately. Records of inspections and plan reviews are retained on site for audit purposes.

The checklist should be used at the start of each shift and after any significant change to site layout or vehicle fleet. It assists the site traffic manager in verifying that all controls are in place, supporting compliance with legal duties and reducing the risk of collisions and pedestrian injuries.

By completing this checklist regularly, site teams can demonstrate proactive safety management to clients, insurers and regulatory inspectors, ensuring that traffic risks are systematically identified and controlled.

The traffic management plan must be regularly reviewed in line with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, ensuring that any changes to site layout, vehicle types or delivery schedules are reflected promptly to maintain safety compliance.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit the specific layout and vehicle fleet of your site.

Compliant with: Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, HSE Traffic Management Guidance, CPA Guidance on Site Traffic Safety.
