Risk Assessment Description:

This event stewarding safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards and control‑room staff ensure safe crowd management and emergency readiness at public events.

It covers the full range of safety dimensions required for event duties, including planning, competence, venue conditions, crowd pressure at barriers, slip and trip hazards, lone post communications, fire and evacuation procedures, and relevant legislation such as the Safety at Sports Grounds Act 1975. Guidance from HSE on event safety is also incorporated. The checklist aligns with HSE event safety guidance and ensures that all statutory duties are met, supporting organisers in demonstrating due diligence.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event preparation – confirm plans, training and equipment are ready.
  • During the event – monitor crowd pressure, barriers, communications and fire safety.
  • Post‑event hand‑over – record any issues and secure the venue.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed immediately before continuing the duty.

To complete the checklist, stewards should read each question, tick the appropriate response, and record any required actions. The completed form should be retained as evidence of compliance and reviewed by the venue manager after the event.

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

Compliant with: Safety at Sports Grounds Act 1975.

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.
