Risk Assessment Description:

This whole-body vibration safety checklist template supports construction site supervisors and plant operators in controlling exposure to vibration and protecting workers’ health. It aligns with the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, providing a practical tool for daily and pre‑shift inspections.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift checks – verify that plant, seat, and suspension are set up to minimise vibration before work begins.
  • Daily inspections – monitor ground conditions, operating speed, equipment condition and vibration‑monitoring devices.
  • Health‑surveillance reviews – confirm that records, medical checks and exposure logs are up to date.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed before the operator proceeds with work. The checklist is fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to suit your site, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt, print or export the template for any construction project.

The checklist helps identify unsafe vibration levels early, supports recording exposure data and ensures corrective actions are taken promptly, meeting the requirements of the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005 and promoting worker wellbeing.

Compliant with: Control of Vibration at Work Regulations 2005; 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.
