Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for staff who operate the retail counter and floor areas of farm shops and garden centre retail outlets. It provides a systematic way to verify that the environment is safe for both employees and customers, covering slip and trip hazards, equipment guarding, cash handling, lone‑working procedures and safe handling of stock and deliveries.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily opening inspections
  • Pre‑shift safety checks
  • Periodic safety audits

It ensures compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and associated regulations such as the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998. The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to specific store layouts or operational changes.

By completing the questions, you confirm that hazards have been identified and controlled, that appropriate personal protective equipment is available, and that emergency procedures are in place. Maintaining a safe retail environment protects staff, customers and the business from accidents, injuries and legal liabilities.

The checklist should be completed before the store opens and after any major changes to the layout or equipment. Record the responses on the printed form or in the digital system, and any negative answers must be addressed immediately.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

Fully editable and shareable.

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.
