Risk Assessment Description:

This fire evacuation drill safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps responsible persons and fire wardens plan, run and review evacuation drills in any workplace across all industries.

It covers pre-drill planning, activation and alarm audibility, escape route use, roll call at the assembly point, assistance for people needing help, evacuation times, warden performance and post-drill review and actions. It references the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Use this checklist for:

Planning a drill — confirm objectives, scenarios and roles are set before the drill
Running the drill — check alarm, routes, roll call and evacuation time on the day
Reviewing outcomes — capture lessons learned and follow-up actions

Work through each question and answer Yes, No or N/A. Any No answer flags an action to resolve, so you can record findings, assign follow-up and keep a clear audit trail for audits and inspections. The template is straightforward enough for any manager, supervisor or safety representative to complete without specialist training, and it gives a consistent, repeatable record every time it is used. Completing it regularly helps demonstrate active monitoring and continual improvement of your health and safety arrangements.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team. Save your completed checklist and return to edit it anytime.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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?

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

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
