Risk Assessment Description:

This bank counter service safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps branch managers and staff ensure a safe and secure environment for customers and employees during all phases of counter operation.

It covers key areas such as risk assessment, staff competence, emergency procedures, panic alarm functionality, counter screen operation, cash handling security, queue and public management, aggression response, CCTV operation, first‑aid provision and overall workplace conditions. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and reflects best practice guidance for retail and financial service environments.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑opening checks — confirm the branch is ready for safe public service.
  • Ongoing service monitoring — verify daily operations remain safe and compliant.
  • End‑of‑day closure — ensure all security and safety measures are completed before leaving.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed before the next shift or before the branch reopens.

To use the checklist, staff tick ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ for each question during the inspection. Any ‘No’ response must be investigated immediately and corrective action taken before the branch reopens or the next shift begins, with details recorded in the incident log.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist 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 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.
