Risk Assessment Description:

This trackside marshalling and flag signalling safety checklist template supports circuit organisers, marshals and flaggers in delivering safe signalling duties at motorsport events. It aligns with the Motorsport UK – Circuit Safety Guidelines (CSG) 2023 and the core health and safety legislation.

The checklist covers all essential safety dimensions – authorisation and planning, competence and supervision, site environment, task‑specific hazards, equipment condition, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and post‑event make‑safe activities. Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A, and any No response must be resolved before work continues or the track is re‑opened.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event checks – verify that the marshalling plan, flag‑signalling protocol and training records are in place before the circuit opens.
  • Live‑track inspections – spot‑check flaggers, communication devices, exclusion zones and emergency arrangements during racing.
  • Post‑event hand‑over – confirm equipment collection, incident reporting and area clearance after the final session.

During the event, each question should be marked Yes, No or N/A on the checklist. Any No answer must be addressed immediately, with corrective actions recorded and verified before the track is reopened.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your circuit, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Compliant with: Motorsport UK – Circuit Safety Guidelines (CSG) 2023; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you 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.
