Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports housekeeping and cleaning staff in hotels to carry out guest‑room servicing safely and consistently. It guides the user through essential pre‑entry, in‑task and post‑task checks, ensuring that hazards such as slips, manual handling, hazardous chemicals, sharps and bodily fluids are properly controlled.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑entry inspections of guest rooms
  • Verification that cleaning chemicals are correctly stored, labelled and within use‑by dates
  • Assessment of manual handling tasks, including bed making and linen handling
  • Control of sharps, waste and potential infection risks
  • Monitoring of slip and trip hazards in bathrooms and wet areas

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your specific hotel layout, cleaning contracts and local procedures.

The checklist is designed to be used on each room before the cleaner begins work and after the task is completed. It can be printed or accessed on a mobile device, and each answer should be recorded as Yes, No or N/A. Recording any negative responses triggers immediate corrective action, such as reporting a spill, arranging equipment repair or reviewing the risk assessment. Supervisors should review completed checklists weekly to monitor trends and ensure ongoing compliance with COSHH and other health‑and‑safety duties.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH), Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

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.
