Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides duty managers and supervisors with a practical, step‑by‑step tool to inspect the safety of live‑in staff accommodation in hospitality venues. It focuses on the key hazards that can affect staff living areas and ensures that essential safety measures are in place and regularly maintained.

Use this checklist to verify that:

  • Fire safety measures such as alarms, extinguishers, emergency lighting and clear escape routes are fully operational and compliant.
  • Gas safety controls including serviced appliances, carbon‑monoxide detectors and accessible shut‑off valves are correctly installed and maintained.
  • Welfare facilities (toilets, washing areas) are clean, in good repair and meet the needs of resident staff.
  • Security provisions such as adequate lighting, functional locks and controlled access are effective.
  • Occupancy levels do not exceed safe limits and that storage does not impede emergency routes.

How to use: Before each inspection, ensure the relevant records (maintenance logs, certification documents) are available. Walk through each area of the accommodation, answering ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘N/A’ for each question. Record any non‑compliances and assign corrective actions with clear deadlines. Review the completed checklist with senior management to confirm that all issues have been addressed.

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005. This checklist also aligns with best practice guidance on Fire Safety and Gas Safety for residential accommodation.

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

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.
