Risk Assessment Description:

This ice, snow and gritting public walkways safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, stewards, CCTV operators and facility managers ensure safe winter conditions for the public and staff.

It covers the essential checks for slip‑hazard control, manual handling of grit, appropriate personal protective equipment, weather monitoring, signage and emergency arrangements. The checklist aligns with the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 and relevant HSE guidance on winter safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑operation checks – confirm risk assessments, weather forecasts and equipment are ready before gritting begins.
  • During‑operation monitoring – verify that surfaces remain safe, signage is effective and staff are protected.
  • Post‑operation sign‑off – ensure excess grit is cleared, records are logged and equipment is stored safely.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed before work continues or the area is reopened.

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each question. Any No answer must be investigated and corrective action taken before the area is reopened or the next shift begins. Record the responses and retain the completed checklist as evidence of compliance.

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

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.
