Risk Assessment Description:

This workshop air compressor and airline safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps vehicle technicians and mechanics ensure compressed‑air systems in motor‑trade workshops are safe, reliable and compliant.

It covers planning, competence, the work environment, the specific hazards of compressed‑air equipment, plant checks, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and make‑safe steps. The checklist follows the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and HSE guidance on compressed‑air safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspection – verify the compressor and airline are safe before starting work.
  • Routine maintenance checks – confirm condition after each shift or service period.
  • Audit of workshop safety – spot‑check compliance during internal audits.

This checklist supports safe operation by ensuring regular inspection of critical components such as the compressor motor, bearings, oil lubrication system, safety and relief valves, pressure gauges and airline integrity. It aligns with industry best practice and helps meet legal duties under PUWER, reducing risk of equipment failure, injury and downtime.

Inspectors should complete the checklist before each shift or when the equipment is returned to service after maintenance. Any non‑conformities must be rectified and recorded in the workshop maintenance log before the compressor is re‑commissioned.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the compressor or airline is used.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

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.
