Risk Assessment Description:

This members’ club risk assessment template is designed for hospitality staff, bar managers and event coordinators who run members’ clubs and social‑club venues. Whether you’re serving drinks in the bar, organising private functions, managing cellar stock, overseeing late‑night operations, or handling kitchen and catering services, this social‑club risk assessment example provides pre‑filled hazards and control measures you can customise for your specific site.

The template covers all key risks for club operations, including intoxicated patron behaviour, manual handling of kegs, glassware and service trays, slips on wet floors, lone working during closing shifts, overcrowding, fire safety with bar and kitchen equipment, security incidents, noise exposure from live music, cellar handling of heavy stock, excessive alcohol consumption, chemical cleaning exposure, heat stress in kitchen areas, and first‑aid readiness for minor injuries. It deliberately excludes food‑hygiene, broader security or gym‑related hazards, focusing on the core hospitality environment of a members’ club.

Use this template for:

Pre‑event risk planning – quickly identify club‑specific hazards before a function starts.
Staff briefings and training – provide clear, actionable control measures to bar and service teams.
Compliance documentation – demonstrate adherence to the Licensing Act 2003 (Section 5 – licensing objectives) and relevant HSE guidance for catering and hospitality.

Each hazard includes suggested control measures covering safe manual handling, patron management, emergency procedures, equipment inspection and more. The risk matrix uses a standard 5×5 likelihood‑severity scoring, with controlled severity always matching the initial severity as required by HSE guidance.

Fully editable and shareable – customise hazards, add site‑specific risks, adjust control measures to match your conditions, and share with your team. Save your completed assessment and return to edit anytime.

Compliant with: Licensing Act 2003 (Section 5 – licensing objectives) and HSE catering and hospitality guidance (HSG71 and related publications).

A risk assessment form is the blank document; a risk assessment template is a pre-filled form ready to customise. Our generator gives you both - a free interactive form you fill in plus over 2400 pre-written templates you can customise to your specific workplace.

You can build and preview a risk assessment 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 documents to your dashboard, edit them later, and share them for digital signatures.

How many risks can I add to a single risk assessment?

The number of risks (hazards) you can include in one assessment depends on your plan: guests get unlimited risks, Free accounts unlimited risks, Standard unlimited risks, Pro unlimited risks, and Enterprise unlimited risks per assessment.

How often should I update my risk assessment?

Whenever there is reason to believe the assessment is no longer valid - after workplace changes, near-misses, accidents, new equipment, new substances, or new processes. HSE guidance recommends an annual formal review at minimum.

What is the HSE 5-step risk assessment process?

Step 1: Identify the hazards. Step 2: Decide who might be harmed and how. Step 3: Evaluate the risks and decide on precautions. Step 4: Record findings and implement them. Step 5: Review the assessment and update if necessary. Our interactive generator walks you through all 5 steps.
