Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for facilities and maintenance teams responsible for the safe management of hotel grounds, car parks and surrounding external areas. It provides a systematic approach to identify hazards, verify controls and ensure compliance with relevant health and safety legislation.

Use this checklist to assess:

  • Pedestrian routes and vehicle pathways for obstructions and clear signage.
  • Lighting levels and functionality in walkways and parking areas.
  • Surface conditions including ice, water, uneven slabs and potholes.
  • Storage and safe operation of maintenance machinery and equipment.
  • Emergency access routes, fire‑exits and assembly point signage.
  • Waste collection points and drainage to prevent water accumulation.

The checklist supports compliance with statutory duties, helps prevent accidents, and enables proactive maintenance planning, ensuring a safe environment for guests and staff.

How to use: Inspect each item on site, answer Yes, No or N/A, and record any required actions. Review completed checklists regularly and retain them as part of your safety documentation.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your site, download as a PDF and share with your team for consistent safety management.
