Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a practical, step‑by‑step tool for inspecting beauty and cosmetics counters in shops, department stores, market stalls, pop‑up booths and festival bars. It is designed for retail managers, health and safety officers and frontline staff who need to verify that daily operations meet UK health and safety requirements and protect both customers and employees.

Use this checklist for:

  • Retail beauty salons and counter‑service areas
  • Cosmetics sales counters in department stores
  • Pop‑up beauty stalls and market kiosks
  • Festival or event beauty booths

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your specific layout, product range or local procedures.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002, Health and Safety (Sharp Instruments in Healthcare) Regulations 2013.

The checklist should be completed at the start of each working day and after any incident or change in product range. The responsible person records a Yes, No or N/A response for each item, notes any corrective action required and signs off that the counter is safe for customers. This systematic approach helps identify gaps early and supports a culture of safety.

By following the checklist you demonstrate compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations, reduce the risk of cross‑infection, allergic reactions and chemical hazards, and provide evidence for inspections and insurance audits.

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.

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.
