Risk Assessment Description:

This cleaning and COSHH store inspection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site managers, caretakers and premises staff ensure hazardous substances are stored, handled and controlled safely in educational settings.

It covers all essential safety dimensions including risk assessment, staff competence, safe storage, labelling, Safety Data Sheets, personal protective equipment, spill response, emergency provisions and make‑safe completion. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 and related HSE guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection checks – verify that the store and procedures are ready before cleaning begins.
  • Routine store inspections – confirm ongoing compliance with COSHH requirements.
  • Post‑task review – ensure the area is left secure and any incidents are recorded.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work continues or the store is re‑locked.

To use the checklist, inspect each item and record Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed immediately, with corrective actions logged and the hazard controlled before the cleaning task continues. The completed checklist should be retained as evidence of compliance.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002.

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.
