Risk Assessment Description:

This laundry equipment safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps hotel linen‑room staff ensure washers, dryers, calenders and ironers are safe to operate before each shift.

It covers all key areas required by the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), including risk assessment, operator competence, workplace conditions, equipment guarding, PPE, fire safety and post‑use make‑safe actions. The checklist addresses planning and documentation, competence of personnel, the work environment, specific plant and equipment checks, substance handling where applicable, personal protective equipment and emergency provisions.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm each machine is ready and safe.
  • Routine safety audits – verify ongoing compliance and condition.
  • Training and briefings – reinforce safe operating procedures.

When using the checklist, answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be investigated and remedied before the equipment is operated. Record the answers and retain the completed form for audit purposes.

Use the checklist at the start of each shift, either printed or on a tablet, and have a supervisor verify the responses before the laundry line is activated.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your hotel’s layout, download as a PDF and distribute to the laundry team.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER).

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.
