Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports cruise ship hospitality and guest service teams in maintaining a safe environment for staff and passengers. It addresses the specific hazards of onboard service, including slip hazards, hot food handling, fatigue management, and guest interaction, ensuring that risks such as burns, trips, chemical exposure and prolonged working hours are effectively controlled.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑service safety inspections in galley, dining, and lounge areas
  • Routine checks during shift handovers
  • Verification of compliance with statutory duties and industry best practice
  • Identifying and correcting unsafe conditions before guest service begins

The checklist guides staff to verify that risk assessments are in place, equipment is fit for purpose, cleaning chemicals are stored safely, fire extinguishers are accessible, and emergency routes are clear. It also confirms that appropriate personal protective equipment is worn and that first‑aid provisions are ready.

During each shift the responsible crew member completes the checklist, noting any non‑conformities and taking immediate corrective action. Completed records are retained for a minimum of 12 months and reviewed during safety meetings to drive continual improvement.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your vessel’s specific layout and procedures.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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.

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.
