Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist assists hotel front‑desk and reception staff in maintaining a safe working environment for both employees and guests.

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring a safe environment for front‑desk staff during guest interactions.
  • Identifying and mitigating risks associated with aggression, prolonged standing, manual handling of luggage, hazardous substances and lone working during late shifts.

How to use: Review each item at the start of each shift, record the answer, and take corrective action where a “No” or “N/A” is indicated. Keep the completed checklist available for inspection and retain records for at least 12 months.

This tool supports proactive safety management by encouraging regular hazard identification, reinforcing training on de‑escalation techniques, and ensuring that equipment such as anti‑fatigue mats and luggage carts is maintained. It can be incorporated into daily shift briefings, used by supervisors to monitor compliance, and linked to the site’s broader risk assessment program to drive continuous improvement.

Supervisors should review completed checklists weekly, note any recurring issues, and update training or equipment as needed to maintain a high standard of safety and guest service.

Compliant with: the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992. This document is fully editable and shareable.
