Risk Assessment Description:

This automatic and powered door inspection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors and facility managers verify that powered doors are safe for public use.

It covers planning, competence, site conditions, specific hazards of powered doors, detailed equipment checks, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and make‑safe actions, referencing the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and HSE guidance on powered doors.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the door and its safety systems are ready before opening to the public.
  • Routine site inspections – spot‑check door performance during operation.
  • Incident investigations – verify that safety controls were in place.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before the door is operated.

To use the checklist, review each question before the door is opened, record any No responses and take immediate corrective action. The checklist can be printed or accessed on a tablet for quick on‑site completion.

Regular use of this checklist supports continuous improvement and helps demonstrate compliance during health and safety audits.

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

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

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?

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.
