Risk Assessment Description:

This wallpapering safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps decorators, fitters and site supervisors ensure safe working practices when applying wallpaper in construction and refurbishment projects.

It covers key areas including work at height, manual handling, hazardous chemicals in paste and steam strippers, and the necessary personal protective equipment. The checklist aligns with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) 2002 guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm competence, equipment and environment are safe before work begins.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify ongoing safety during wallpaper application.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the area is left safe and tidy after the job.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before continuing the task.

The checklist also supports compliance with health and safety legislation, helping you demonstrate due diligence and reduce the risk of falls, chemical exposure, slips and musculoskeletal injuries.

This checklist can be printed or accessed on a tablet or smartphone, allowing quick verification on site and easy integration into daily safety briefings.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) 2002.

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?

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.
