Risk Assessment Description:

This first aid kit and medical room safety checklist from the school helps teaching assistants, SENCOs, first aiders and welfare staff verify that school first‑aid provisions are complete, current and ready for emergencies.

It covers the essential checks for risk assessment compliance, staff competence, accessibility, kit contents, medication storage, waste handling, PPE provision and emergency procedures, all aligned with the Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981 and the HSE guidance on first aid in schools.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the kit and medical room are ready before each term.
  • Routine monthly checks – maintain compliance and replace expired items.
  • Audit and audit‑ready reporting – provide evidence for inspections and audits.

This checklist helps schools meet their legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and supports a safe learning environment by ensuring first‑aid provisions are reliable and up‑to‑date.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the kit or room is relied upon.

Use the checklist by ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item; record any No responses and take corrective action before the kit or medical room is used in an emergency.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981; First aid in schools, early years and colleges guidance.

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?

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.
