Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for hospitality and accommodation venues to ensure the safety of staff working alone or during night shifts. It supports managers in planning, assessing risks, implementing controls, and reviewing outcomes for lone and night working. The checklist aligns with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, and the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, ensuring comprehensive legal compliance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying that lone workers have clear schedules, safe zones, and reliable communication.
  • Ensuring risk assessments, training, and procedures are in place for aggression, substances, and emergencies.
  • Confirming that personal protective equipment, lighting, and fire safety measures are adequate.
  • Reviewing post‑shift debriefs and incident records to improve future safety.

How to use: Before each night shift, the responsible manager should complete the checklist with the designated lone worker, confirming each item with a Yes, No, or N/A response. Any ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ answers must trigger immediate corrective action, documented and reviewed at the end of the shift.

Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Fully editable and shareable.
