Risk Assessment Description:

This hotel swimming pool safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps pool and leisure‑club staff ensure safe operation for guests and employees.

It covers a comprehensive range of safety areas including a current risk assessment, staff competence and training in water rescue, water quality monitoring (chlorine, pH, temperature), chemical storage and handling procedures, rescue equipment readiness, emergency action plans, clear signage, adequate lighting, slip‑resistant deck surfaces, alcohol policy enforcement, and the requirement for a qualified lifeguard on duty. All checks are aligned with the HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools guidance to reduce the risk of drowning, chemical exposure, slips, trips and falls, and to meet legal duties.

The checklist is designed for daily pre‑opening inspections, ongoing poolside monitoring during operating hours and post‑closing make‑safe verification. It also supports regular audits of plant, equipment and procedural compliance, ensuring that any deviation is identified and corrected before guests use the facilities.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑opening daily safety inspections
  • Ongoing poolside monitoring during operating hours
  • Post‑closing make‑safe verification

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A – record any No response, investigate the cause and take corrective action before guests use the facilities. Review the checklist daily, keep completed records for audit, and update it when procedures or regulations change.

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

Compliant with: HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools.

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.
