Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for hospitality and accommodation venues that operate golf buggies and on‑course utility vehicles. It provides a thorough pre‑operation and post‑operation review to ensure safe use on the course and around guests, covering vehicle condition, driver competence, environmental factors and emergency preparedness.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that planning documentation, permits and risk assessments are in place before each use.
  • Confirming that drivers are trained, authorised and wearing required personal protective equipment.
  • Inspecting vehicle condition, battery/fuel storage, signage and barriers to prevent overturning or collisions.
  • Ensuring environmental and site considerations such as terrain, drainage and pedestrian routes are safe.
  • Checking that emergency equipment and procedures are ready in case of incidents.

How to use: complete the Yes/No/N/A questions before each shift, record any non‑conformities and take corrective action. Retain the completed checklist for audit purposes and review it after each use to capture wear, tear and any changes to risk assessments.

This tool supports routine safety audits and helps demonstrate due diligence to insurers and regulators.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. Fully editable and shareable.

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?

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.
