Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist to ensure the safe storage, handling and inspection of compressed‑gas cylinders in motor‑trade environments such as vehicle workshops, bodyshops and tyre bays. It helps you verify that cylinders are correctly secured, labelled and maintained, reducing the risk of leaks, fire or explosion. Compliance is required under the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying cylinder uprightness and secure fastening.
  • Checking valve, regulator and pressure gauge condition.
  • Ensuring proper segregation of oxygen and fuel gases.
  • Confirming labeling, storage conditions and emergency equipment.
  • Assessing competency and training of personnel handling cylinders.

The checklist covers key inspection points including cylinder uprightness, securing methods, valve and regulator condition, separation of oxygen and fuel gases, leak detection, labeling, storage conditions, emergency preparedness and the competence of personnel. By following it you can demonstrate compliance with the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 and align with industry best practice.

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

How to use: complete each question before commencing work with cylinders. Record any non‑conformities and take corrective action immediately. Review the checklist regularly and update it to reflect changes in equipment or procedures.

This checklist should be reviewed annually and after any incident involving gas cylinders. It supports your safety management system and helps you meet the requirements of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.

Compliant with: Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002. This legislation sets out requirements for the safe use of dangerous substances, including compressed gases, in the workplace.
