Risk Assessment Description:

This club operations safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps hospitality managers and staff ensure safe bar service, cellar handling, member behaviour and lone working in a members’ club or social‑club environment.

It covers planning, staff competence, premises condition, alcohol service controls, equipment checks, chemical handling, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and final make‑safe steps. The checklist aligns with the Licensing Act 2003 and HSE entertainment‑leisure guidance.

The checklist also supports compliance with licensing responsibilities, health and safety duties, and best practice for managing alcohol service, crowd control and hazardous substances. It integrates the requirements of the Licensing Act 2003 with HSE guidance on entertainment and leisure venues, ensuring a comprehensive approach to risk management.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event inspections – verify that the venue, staff and equipment are ready before opening.
  • Daily operational checks – confirm safe bar, cellar and member area conditions throughout service.
  • Post‑shift wrap‑up – ensure hazards are cleared and records completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed before the activity continues.

To use the checklist, the responsible person should review each question and record a Yes, No or N/A answer. Any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before the activity proceeds or before the venue reopens. Completed checklists should be filed according to the club’s safety management system for future reference and audit.

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

Compliant with: Licensing Act 2003.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
