Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that thermostatic mixing valves are correctly installed and set.
  • Ensuring hot‑water temperatures remain within safe limits for all guests.
  • Confirming that maintenance procedures, staff competence, and emergency responses are in place to prevent scalding.
  • Documenting inspections and corrective actions for regulatory compliance.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. These regulations require employers to provide a safe environment, assess risks, and manage hot‑water temperature hazards to protect guests and staff.

This checklist helps facilities and maintenance teams systematically assess hot‑water safety, record findings, and take corrective action where required. It supports the identification of vulnerable guests, ensures TMVs are set to a maximum of 49°C, and confirms that anti‑scald devices are functional. Regular use reduces the risk of burns, demonstrates a commitment to health and safety best practice, and provides evidence of compliance for inspections and audits.

Fully editable and shareable, the document can be adapted to specific hotel layouts, water system designs, and local procedural requirements, making it a versatile tool for ongoing safety management.

How to use: Facilities staff should complete the checklist during each scheduled hot‑water system inspection, record answers in the logbook or digital system, and address any ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ items before guest rooms are occupied. The completed checklist provides evidence for internal audits and external inspections.

The checklist also addresses site conditions, confirming that pipework is insulated, floor surfaces are non‑slip, and emergency signage is visible, supporting a safe environment for guests and staff.

It ensures that staff know how to provide immediate cooling and first‑aid, and that emergency signage is in place to guide response to scald incidents.
