Risk Assessment Description:

This cash handling and reception security safety checklist supports reception staff in commercial gyms, swimming pools and sports leisure facilities to manage cash securely and maintain a safe front‑of‑house environment. It aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE guidance on lone‑worker and security risks.

The checklist addresses planning and documentation, staff competence, reception environment, task‑specific hazards, equipment such as tills and panic alarms, protective measures, collective safety controls, emergency procedures and post‑task make‑safe actions.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift cash‑up preparation – confirm risk controls before opening.
  • During‑shift security monitoring – verify alarms, CCTV and procedures are active.
  • End‑of‑day cash‑up and lock‑down – ensure cash is deposited safely and the area is secured.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed immediately before cash handling continues or the shift ends.

To use the checklist, staff complete each question at the start of their shift, during cash‑up and after closing. Record the answer, take corrective action for any No response and retain the completed form for management review. The checklist can be printed or accessed digitally on a tablet.

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.

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.

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.
