Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports event managers and safety coordinators in verifying that permanent and temporary lighting, as well as emergency egress lighting, meet the required standards for concerts, festivals and other large public events. It ensures that lighting levels are sufficient for safe movement of crowds, that emergency lighting will operate reliably in a power failure and that all related documentation is in place.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event lighting inspections
  • During‑event monitoring of lighting performance
  • Post‑event verification that all lighting equipment is safely switched off and stored
  • Ensuring compliance with health and safety legislation and industry best practice

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions, add site‑specific details and export to PDF for field use.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the BS 5266‑1:2016 Emergency Lighting Code of Practice.

This tool is designed for quick on‑site use: print or load onto a tablet, tick Yes/No/N/A for each item, and record any corrective action required. The checklist can be integrated with your event risk assessment documentation and serves as evidence of compliance for inspections and insurers.

By following this checklist you help prevent accidents caused by inadequate illumination, support safe evacuation routes, and meet legal duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations.

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.
