Risk Assessment Description:

This first aid room and AED readiness safety checklist template helps duty managers and supervisors in commercial gyms, swimming pools and sports/leisure facilities ensure that emergency medical provisions are fully operational and compliant.

The checklist covers essential aspects of first aid provision, including risk assessment, equipment condition, trained responder availability, room cleanliness, signage, and emergency contact procedures. It aligns with the Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981 and reflects best‑practice guidance from HSE and industry bodies.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection of the first aid room and AED before opening hours.
  • Regular weekly or monthly audits of first aid equipment and supplies.
  • Verification of responder training records and emergency procedures.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any “No” response must be resolved immediately, with corrective action recorded, before the facility is used for public activities.

To use the checklist, walk the site with the document, record answers directly on the form and take immediate remedial action for any “No”. Keep the completed checklist with your facility’s safety records as evidence of compliance.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to match your site, download as a PDF and distribute to your safety team.

Compliant with: Health and Safety (First‑Aid) Regulations 1981. This ensures you meet your duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.
