Risk Assessment Description:

This universal workplace inspection checklist assists employers in creating a safe, comfortable and health‑protective environment by systematically addressing temperature, lighting and ventilation hazards across all sectors.

It aligns with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and incorporates key HSE guidance: Temperature in the workplace, Lighting in the workplace and Ventilation in the workplace. These sources define reasonable temperature ranges, adequate illumination levels and effective fresh‑air provision to control airborne contaminants and maintain thermal comfort. Regular monitoring helps maintain compliance and worker wellbeing. Employers should review environmental records regularly and update risk assessments when any change occurs.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑use inspections before starting work or after changes to heating, cooling or lighting systems.
Routine environmental checks during daily operations.
Post‑incident reviews following temperature‑related illnesses or lighting failures.
Compliance audits and management reviews.

How to use: verify that a risk assessment exists, confirm competent personnel and functional equipment, assess the actual temperature, lighting levels and ventilation performance, ensure that control measures such as heating, cooling, lighting fixtures and ventilation systems are inspected and maintained, and check that emergency lighting, signage and welfare provisions are in place. Record findings, assign corrective actions and obtain sign‑off from an authorised person.

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992; HSE guidance on temperature, lighting and ventilation.
