Risk Assessment Description:

This Workshop COSHH Chemical Store Safety Checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps motor trade managers and staff ensure safe storage and handling of hazardous chemicals in vehicle workshops, dealerships and body shops.

It covers all essential checks including risk assessment verification, staff competence, adequate ventilation, correct labelling, segregation of incompatible substances, secondary containment, spill response readiness, appropriate personal protective equipment and emergency equipment, aligning with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and HSE guidance for motor vehicle repair.

How to use this checklist: For each item tick Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before chemicals are accessed or stored. Record the action taken, the responsible person and the date, and retain the completed checklist on site for inspection or audit.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection of the chemical store before work begins.
  • Regular monthly store audits to maintain compliance.
  • Incident investigations and corrective action verification.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before chemicals are accessed or stored. Record actions taken and keep the checklist on site for audit purposes.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to suit your workshop, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

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.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
