Risk Assessment Description:

This hotel external window cleaning safety checklist helps facilities and maintenance teams ensure safe façade work at height on hotel buildings, protecting staff, guests and the public.

It covers the full range of safety dimensions required for high‑rise window cleaning, including authorisation, planning and documentation; competence and fitness of operatives; site and environmental conditions such as weather, ground stability and public access; task‑specific hazards and controls; inspection of plant, equipment and tools; substances and materials handling; personal protective equipment; collective safety measures; emergency and welfare provisions; and final make‑safe checks.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm the method, equipment and conditions are safe before work begins.
  • On‑site inspections – verify ongoing compliance during the cleaning operation.
  • Post‑job handover – ensure equipment is inspected, cleaned and stored safely.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A on site; any No response must be investigated and corrected before work continues.

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

This checklist should be reviewed regularly, and any changes to equipment, procedures or legislation must be reflected in the document to maintain compliance and safety effectiveness.

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
