Risk Assessment Description:

This gym cable and functional training rig safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps gym instructors and fitness floor staff verify that cable rigs and functional training equipment are safe for use in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres.

It is built around the ten HSE safety dimensions – authorisation, competence, environment, task‑specific hazards, plant and equipment, substances, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and make‑safe – and follows the guidance set out in the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). The checklist also aligns with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 to ensure systematic risk management.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the rig and surrounding area are safe before each session.
  • Routine safety audits – spot‑check equipment condition during regular facility audits.
  • Training and briefings – reinforce safe set‑up and operation with staff.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No answer must be investigated and resolved before the rig is used. The checklist supports a proactive safety culture, helps maintain equipment longevity and provides documented evidence of compliance for inspections and insurance purposes.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER); Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
