Risk Assessment Description:

This hotel guest lift safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps facilities and maintenance staff ensure lifts are safe for guests and compliant with lifting regulations.

It covers all key aspects of lift safety including risk assessments, entrapment rescue procedures, regular maintenance, door and level checks, and out‑of‑service control. The checklist aligns with the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) and HSE guidance on passenger lifts, addressing hazards such as mechanical failure, door entrapment, power loss and fire safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the lift and surrounding area are safe before it is put into service.
  • Routine maintenance checks – verify that daily and periodic examinations meet LOLER requirements.
  • Rescue and incident response – ensure entrapment procedures are ready and effective.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before the lift is used or before the shift ends.

The checklist supports a systematic approach, enabling facilities teams to record findings, assign corrective actions and maintain a clear audit trail. It meets the legal duties set out in the Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER) and HSE passenger‑lift guidance, helping hotels comply with health and safety law.

To use, complete the inspection at the start of each shift or after any fault, record the results in the lift log and ensure any ‘No’ items are rectified before the lift is returned to service.

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

Compliant with: Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations 1998 (LOLER).

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.
