Risk Assessment Description:

This Clubhouse Bar, Lounge & Function Service safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps bar managers, supervisors and service staff ensure a safe environment for members and guests during regular service and special functions.

It covers all essential areas including staff competence, premises condition, glass handling, slip and trip hazards, keg and cellar operations, management of intoxicated patrons, and emergency procedures. The checklist aligns with the Licensing Act 2003 and relevant HSE guidance for hospitality venues.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑service inspections – confirm the bar area, equipment and staffing are ready before opening.
  • Function set‑up checks – verify temporary layouts, additional furniture and service points are safe.
  • Ongoing monitoring – spot‑check during service and after closing.

To use the checklist, staff answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be addressed immediately and recorded, with corrective action taken before service resumes. Completed checklists should be retained for inspection and continuous improvement.

By following these checks you demonstrate compliance with the Licensing Act 2003, which requires licence holders to maintain safe premises, prevent harm to patrons and manage alcohol responsibly. This helps reduce the risk of incidents, fines or licence revocation.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your venue, 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.
