Risk Assessment Description:

This hospital security duty safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, CCTV operators and facility managers ensure a safe environment in acute care settings.

It covers key areas including aggression management in A&E and wards, safe patient restraint to prevent positional asphyxia, infection and sharps control, and the challenges of lone response across a large site. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE guidance on risk assessment in care settings.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift checks – confirm plans, training and equipment are ready before duty starts.
  • In‑process monitoring – verify safety measures remain in place during the shift.
  • Shift handover – ensure the area and equipment are left secure for the next team.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the situation continues.

When using this checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each question, record any No responses and take immediate corrective action before proceeding with duties. The completed checklist can be saved digitally or printed for audit and compliance verification.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; HSE ‘Sensible risk assessment in care settings’ guidance.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to 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?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
