Risk Assessment Description:

This spray painting safety checklist template helps painters, decorators and site supervisors confirm that spray painting work is carried out safely on construction sites and fit‑out projects.

It covers competence, environment, hazardous substances, equipment condition, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency provisions and make‑safe actions. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 together with HSE guidance on spray painting, ventilation and flammable atmospheres.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm risk assessments, permits, equipment condition and PPE before spraying begins.
  • During‑work inspections – monitor controls, ventilation, fire‑watch, signage and operator fitness while work is in progress.
  • Post‑task sign‑off – ensure the area is cleared, waste is disposed of, equipment is cleaned and the site is safe for the next activity.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues or before the area is handed over.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.

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?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
