Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for licence holders such as pubs, bars, nightclubs and other licensed venues organising a car boot sale or outdoor selling event. It provides a practical tool to ensure the safety of traders, staff and visitors, helping you meet your legal duties and protect your reputation.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that vehicle routes are clearly separated from pedestrian areas
  • Confirming that traffic marshals are appointed and traffic flow is controlled
  • Ensuring ground conditions are safe and weather contingencies are in place
  • Checking cash handling, welfare facilities and emergency access
  • Confirming that personal protective equipment is provided where required

The checklist addresses key safety dimensions including planning and permits, environment and site conditions, plant and equipment, substances, personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness, ensuring a comprehensive safety assessment.

How to use: Complete the checklist on the day of the event, recording a Yes, No or N/A answer for each item. Any item marked No should be addressed before the event proceeds. Keep the completed checklist on site for inspection by authorities and retain it for at least six months as evidence of compliance and to inform future events.

By following this checklist you demonstrate due diligence, help protect your business from incidents and regulatory action, and provide reassurance to traders and customers alike.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981. Fully editable and shareable, this document can be adapted to the specific layout and requirements of your venue.

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.
