Risk Assessment Description:

This commercial swimming pool daily safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps lifeguards and pool supervisors ensure the pool environment is safe for users each day.

It covers all essential areas of pool safety, including risk assessment, staff competence, water quality, signage, slip and glare hazards, rescue and alarm equipment, and emergency provisions, referencing the guidance in HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm the pool is ready for safe use at the beginning of each shift.
  • Daily inspections – verify ongoing safety throughout operating hours.
  • Shift handover – ensure any issues are recorded and addressed before the next shift.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before users enter the pool.

Use the checklist by ticking the appropriate response for each question, recording any issues, and taking corrective action before the pool opens or during the shift. This systematic approach helps maintain a safe swimming environment and provides clear evidence of compliance for inspections.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to your facility and download as a PDF.

Compliant with: HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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

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.
