Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports hotel food and beverage teams to deliver hot food and drinks safely to guest rooms. It covers the hazards associated with trolley handling, manual handling of hot items, lift use, slip risks in corridors and the control of chemicals and fire safety. It ensures that staff follow the required procedures and that equipment is fit for purpose before each service run.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑use inspection of service trolleys and lifts
  • Verification of staff competence and appropriate PPE
  • Ensuring a safe environment for hot‑food delivery in corridors and guest rooms
  • Recording incidents and confirming safe completion of each service run

It is fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your hotel’s specific layout, service routes and standard operating procedures. The checklist can be printed as a paper form or used on a mobile device for real‑time verification.

Supervisors should review completed checklists daily to identify trends, address any recurring hazards and ensure corrective actions are implemented promptly, maintaining a safe service environment for guests and staff.

The checklist can be integrated into shift briefings, with supervisors confirming each item before service begins. It provides a record for management reviews and demonstrates due diligence during health and safety inspections.

Regular training and refresher sessions should reinforce safe handling practices and keep staff updated on any procedural changes.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Also reflects best practice from Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and Food Safety Act 1990.

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.

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.
