Risk Assessment Description:

This Christmas market safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps event managers and safety coordinators confirm that all fire, electrical, crowd and environmental risks are controlled for a seasonal market or festive event.

It covers the essential checks for planning, personnel competence, site layout, heating and power equipment, flammable substances, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and post‑event close‑down. The checklist aligns with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HSE event‑safety guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event planning – verify risk assessments, permits and safety briefings.
  • Day‑of operation – confirm heaters, generators, crowd control and fire safety measures are in place.
  • Post‑event close‑down – ensure equipment is switched off, waste cleared and the site left safe.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the market opens or before the site is vacated.

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

The checklist should be completed by the appointed safety officer before the market opens and reviewed each shift. Any No response triggers immediate corrective action, documented and signed off, ensuring the event remains compliant and safe for staff and visitors.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

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.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
