Risk Assessment Description:

This pre‑use checklist provides a systematic daily inspection for tracked dumpers used on construction sites. It ensures that every critical component and safety control is verified before the dumper is moved, helping operators comply with the PUWER 1998 and recognised industry guidance. The checklist is designed to support safe plant operation, minimise the risk of roll‑over, mechanical failure and environmental contamination, and to satisfy legal duties under the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations and related health and safety legislation.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑use inspections of tracked dumpers on construction sites
  • Verification of compliance with Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and HSE guidance
  • Verification against Guidance on the Safe Use of Dumpers – CPA publication
  • Ensuring that tracks, under‑carriage, brakes, ROPS, load‑securing devices and visibility aids are in safe working order
  • Confirming that fuel, oil and other substances are stored and handled in line with COSHH requirements
  • Checking that appropriate personal protective equipment and emergency provisions such as first‑aid kits and fire extinguishers are available

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) – HSE guidance; Guidance on the Safe Use of Dumpers – CPA publication.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the checklist to suit specific site requirements or equipment variations. To use, the appointed operator completes the checklist at the start of each shift, signs the maintenance log and retains the record for audit or hand‑over purposes.

The checklist aligns with PUWER 1998 and the CPA Guidance on the Safe Use of Dumpers, ensuring that all statutory and best‑practice requirements are met before the dumper is taken into service.

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.

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.
