Risk Assessment Description:

This CCTV and security control room operation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps control room operators, door supervisors, stewards and facility managers ensure safe monitoring, data handling and welfare during shift work.

It covers planning, competence, the control room environment, display‑screen ergonomics, equipment checks, data protection, emergency procedures and post‑shift make‑safe actions. It references the Data Protection Act 2018 and HSE guidance on Control rooms and Work with display screen equipment, ensuring compliance with legal duties and best practice.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift checks – confirm the control room is ready and safe before starting work.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify ongoing safety during the shift.
  • Post‑shift handover – ensure records, evidence and equipment are secured.

During each shift the operator reviews each question, marking Yes, No or N/A. Any No response triggers immediate corrective action or escalation before the task proceeds, and the completed checklist is retained as evidence of compliance.

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

Operators complete the checklist at the start, during and at the end of each shift; any No answers are logged and reported to the supervisor for immediate action, supporting continuous improvement of control‑room safety.

Compliant with: Data Protection Act 2018; HSE Control rooms guidance; HSE Work with display screen equipment guidance.

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.
