Risk Assessment Description:

This noise assessment safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps duty managers and supervisors in commercial gyms, swimming pools and sports leisure facilities verify that noise levels in studio and plant‑room areas are controlled and compliant.

It covers all key aspects of a noise risk assessment, including planning, staff competence, environment, equipment, hearing protection, collective controls, emergency arrangements and record keeping, and references the Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005. The checklist supports systematic monitoring, ensuring regular sound‑level measurements and prompt corrective action when limits are exceeded.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – confirm noise controls are in place before classes or plant work start.
  • Routine inspections – monitor music, HVAC and other equipment during operation.
  • Compliance audits – demonstrate adherence to legal requirements and internal policies.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the activity proceeds, and records of actions taken are retained. The checklist is used by ticking the appropriate response for each item; a No response triggers immediate corrective action and documentation.

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

Compliant with: Control of Noise at Work Regulations 2005.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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.
