Risk Assessment Description:

This infectious disease outbreak management safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps duty managers and supervisors in accommodation settings ensure a coordinated response to norovirus, flu, legionella or other communicable disease incidents.

It covers the full range of controls including risk assessment, staff competence, ventilation, isolation rooms, cleaning procedures, chemical safety, PPE, signage, reporting, water system monitoring, laundry processes, and post‑cleaning verification. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and relevant public‑health guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑outbreak readiness – confirm plans, training and supplies are in place.
  • During an outbreak – verify isolation, cleaning, PPE and reporting steps.
  • Post‑outbreak review – ensure decontamination, documentation and lessons learned.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before the next step proceeds.

To use the checklist, the responsible supervisor reviews each item, marks Yes, No or N/A, records any No answers and implements immediate corrective actions before continuing. All responses are retained for audit and future outbreak reviews.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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.
