Risk Assessment Description:

This assisting public with disabilities safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors and facility managers ensure safe assistance for members of the public with reduced mobility or disabilities.

It covers essential checks for planning, competence, accessible routes, equipment, manual handling, dignity, consent and emergency evacuation, referencing the Equality Act 2010 and related best practice. The checklist aligns with the 10‑dimension safety framework to protect both staff and the public, ensuring that risk assessments are in place, staff are trained, routes are clear, equipment is maintained, PPE is used and emergency procedures are ready.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑duty checks – confirm risk assessments, training and equipment are ready before assisting.
  • On‑site assistance – verify routes, equipment and consent during the assistance.
  • Post‑assistance review – ensure equipment is stored and any issues are recorded.

This checklist supports compliance with the Equality Act 2010 duty to make reasonable adjustments for disabled persons, helping venues avoid discrimination claims and improve inclusive service.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before proceeding or escalated according to your emergency plan.

How it is used: staff tick the appropriate response, record any corrective actions, and retain the completed form as evidence of compliance.

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

Compliant with: Equality Act 2010.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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

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.
