Risk Assessment Description:

This wheel balancer inspection safety checklist template helps tyre fitters and workshop staff confirm the balancing machine is safe to use before each operation.

It covers all ten safety dimensions – planning, competence, work environment, task‑specific hazards, plant and equipment, substances, PPE, collective measures, emergency provisions and completion – and aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) guidance on equipment inspection.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – verify the wheel balancer is ready and safe before work starts.
  • In‑process checks – ensure continued safe operation during tyre balancing.
  • Post‑use sign‑off – confirm the machine is made safe and records are updated.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be resolved before the equipment is used or before the next task begins. The checklist should be completed on the shop floor, with the responsible operator signing the record and any issues reported to the supervisor for corrective action.

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

How to use: The operator completes the checklist prior to each use, answering Yes, No or N/A to each item. Any No response must be addressed before the machine is operated. The completed form is signed and retained for audit.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.

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.
