Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports venue cleaning staff to conduct a thorough after‑close inspection of licensed premises, ensuring all health, safety and legal requirements are met before the venue re‑opens.

Use this checklist for:

  • Cleaning and waste removal in pubs, bars and nightclubs after closing
  • Handling of glass, sharps and bodily‑fluid spills
  • Safe use of cleaning chemicals under COSHH requirements
  • Lone‑working controls for after‑hours cleaning crews

All checks are aligned with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and relevant licensing authority guidance to protect staff, patrons and property.

The cleaning supervisor or designated responsible person should complete the checklist at the end of each cleaning shift, confirming that every question has been answered and any identified issues are rectified before the venue re‑opens. Completed checklists are to be filed with the venue’s health and safety records and reviewed during regular safety audits.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt this template to suit your venue’s specific procedures.

The checklist can be printed or accessed electronically on a tablet; each completed form should be signed by the responsible person and retained for at least twelve months as evidence of compliance with COSHH and licensing requirements.

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.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

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.
