Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports front‑of‑house staff in gyms, swimming pools and sports leisure centres to verify that all food handling, storage and service areas meet the required standards for hygiene and safety. It helps maintain high standards of temperature control, proper allergen labelling and effective cleaning regimes, reducing the risk of food‑borne illness and cross‑contamination.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily inspection of café refrigeration and hot‑hold equipment
  • Verification of allergen labelling and cross‑contamination controls
  • Assessment of cleaning regimes and chemical storage
  • Ensuring staff competence and appropriate personal protective equipment

How to use: complete the Yes/No/N/A questions during each shift, record any deviations and assign corrective actions immediately. Review temperature logs, cleaning records and pest‑control reports regularly to demonstrate compliance during inspections.

It is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to the specific layout of your facility while maintaining compliance.

Use the checklist to record temperature readings, cleaning schedules and pest‑control logs, ensuring evidence is available for inspections by environmental health officers. Maintain a current food premises registration certificate and display it prominently. Review completed checklists weekly to identify trends and implement corrective actions, supporting continuous improvement and compliance with the Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013.

Maintain records of each completed checklist for at least 12 months; this provides evidence for inspections by environmental health officers and supports trend analysis to improve food safety performance over time. Use the data to schedule refresher training, adjust cleaning frequencies, and verify that temperature monitoring devices are calibrated annually.

Compliant with: Food Safety and Hygiene (England) Regulations 2013

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.
