Risk Assessment Description:

This skirting and architrave safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone assists bricklayers, carpenters, plasterers, painters, decorators and other fitters to carry out safe installation of skirting boards and architraves on construction sites. It guides operatives and supervisors through essential safety steps before, during and after the task.

The checklist addresses competence, work environment, manual handling, power and hand tool safety, wood dust control, and personal protective equipment. It references the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and HSE wood dust guidance, ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task checks – confirm the area, tools and materials are safe before work starts.
  • In‑process monitoring – ensure safe practice continues during installation.
  • Completion sign‑off – verify the work area is left tidy and hazards removed.

Operatives should complete the checklist at the start of each shift and update it if conditions change. The record supports site audits, demonstrates compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, and promotes a safe, tidy work environment.

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

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
