Risk Assessment Description:

This door supervision safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, stewards, CCTV controllers and venue managers ensure safe and compliant door supervision during events.

It covers key areas including planning, staff competence, venue environment, crowd management, use of force limits, intoxicated patron handling, alcohol‑related risks, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency procedures and post‑shift completion. It references the Licensing Act 2003 and relevant public‑order guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift checks – confirm readiness before doors open.
  • During‑shift monitoring – ensure ongoing safety as crowds build.
  • End‑of‑shift sign‑off – verify that the area is secure and records are completed.

When using the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item. Record any No responses and take corrective action before the shift continues. Keep the completed form for inspection by the licensing authority or internal audit.

The checklist aligns with licensing requirements, helping maintain public order, reduce incidents and protect staff and patrons. It is designed to be quick to use while ensuring thorough coverage of all critical safety aspects.

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

Compliant with: Licensing Act 2003.

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.
