Risk Assessment Description:

This hotel fire safety and fire marshalling checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps duty managers and supervisors verify that fire protection measures and evacuation procedures are ready for guests and staff.

It covers fire risk assessment, staff competence, escape routes, fire detection and alarm systems, fire‑door integrity, fire‑extinguishers, emergency lighting, fire‑marshalling duties and guest evacuation. The checklist aligns with the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and HSE guidance for hospitality premises, ensuring compliance with legal duties and best practice.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift fire safety checks – confirm systems and routes are ready before guests arrive.
  • Daily fire‑marshal sweeps – verify that fire‑marshals have completed their duties and that evacuation routes remain clear.
  • Periodic fire safety audits – support internal audits and external inspections.

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

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

Use the checklist by marking Yes, No or N/A for each item during the pre‑shift walk‑around. Any No response must be addressed immediately, with corrective action recorded, before the hotel opens or the shift proceeds. Review the log daily and retain records for inspection.

Regularly reviewing fire‑marshalling performance helps maintain a high level of preparedness, supports continuous improvement, and demonstrates due diligence to insurers and fire authorities. Ensure that training records are up‑to‑date and that any identified deficiencies are corrected promptly.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

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.
