Risk Assessment Description:

This evacuation and invacuation duties safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards and facility managers ensure safe and orderly evacuation and invacuation of people in public venues.

It covers planning and documentation, staff competence, route conditions, hazard controls, equipment checks, substance safety, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency welfare and post‑incident actions. It references the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and aligns with HSE emergency procedures guidance.

When conducting an evacuation or invacuation, the responsible person should read each question aloud, verify the answer on site, and record the response. Any item answered No must be rectified immediately before proceeding. The completed checklist provides a documented record for the responsible person and can be retained for audit and post‑incident review.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event checks – confirm procedures, training and equipment are ready before any incident.
  • During an evacuation or invacuation – verify routes, assistance and communication are safe and effective.
  • Post‑incident debrief – record roll‑call, make‑safe actions and lessons learned.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed immediately to maintain safety.

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

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

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.
