Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring trolley jacks and axle stands are safe to operate on cars, vans and light trucks in a motor‑trade environment.
  • Verifying that the equipment meets the required standards before lifting any vehicle.
  • Documenting compliance with the relevant health and safety legislation.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER 1998). This regulation requires that all work equipment used in the workplace is suitable, maintained and inspected regularly.

During the inspection, assess the hydraulic fluid condition, seal integrity, load markings, base stability, wheel condition, axle‑stand pins, safety locks and overall structural soundness. Confirm that the equipment is free from cracks, corrosion or deformation and that load limits are clearly displayed and not exceeded.

Additional considerations include a clear work area, appropriate personal protective equipment, trained personnel, and emergency procedures. By following this checklist you ensure the trolley jack and axle stand are fit for purpose, reducing the risk of collapse, injury or vehicle damage.

To use this checklist, the technician should complete each question before lifting, record the answer, and address any ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ responses before proceeding. The completed form can be stored in the workshop safety log and reviewed during routine audits, supporting continuous improvement and compliance.

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