Risk Assessment Description:

This Aggressive Customer and Conflict Readiness Safety Checklist is designed for reception and front‑of‑house teams in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres. It helps you identify and control the risks associated with aggressive customers, ensuring a safe environment for staff and members.

The checklist reflects the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE guidance INDG69. It covers risk assessment, staff competence, alarm and communication systems, withdrawal routes, incident reporting and post‑incident support.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift audits – verify that all safety measures are in place before opening.
  • Incident reviews – confirm actions taken after an aggressive event.
  • Training verification – ensure staff retain required de‑escalation skills.
  • Regular safety drills – test alarm and evacuation procedures.

Answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before staff continue work or the area is re‑opened. Records should be kept for at least 12 months as evidence of compliance.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; HSE guidance INDG69.

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.

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.
