Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for hotel banqueting and function service operations, providing a systematic approach to managing health and safety risks associated with large‑scale food service events, including high‑temperature cooking, guest movement and decorative lighting.

Use this checklist for:

  • Setting up banquet rooms for functions
  • Handling and serving hot food to large numbers of guests
  • Managing crowd flow and occupancy limits
  • Using candles or other naked flames safely
  • Ensuring electrical equipment is safe and maintained
  • Controlling allergens and waste disposal

It also covers the verification of fire detection systems, the provision of spill containment mats and the safe storage of cleaning chemicals.

How to use: Assign a responsible staff member to complete the checklist before each event, verify each item as Yes, No or N/A, and record any actions required. Review the completed checklist with the team during the pre‑service briefing and retain it for the duration of the function. The checklist can be edited to suit the specific layout and policies of your venue. Ensure that any changes are documented and approved by the venue manager.

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, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, Food Safety Act 1990 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.
