Risk Assessment Description:

This lone response to aggressive or intoxicated individuals safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards, CCTV operators and duty managers confirm they are prepared to safely manage a violent or unpredictable person when working alone.

It covers all essential areas including risk assessment and briefing, competence and fitness, venue conditions, de‑escalation techniques, protective equipment, communication tools, emergency procedures and post‑incident reporting. It references the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and HSE guidance on managing the risk of violence and aggression.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑response preparation – confirm risk controls are in place before any incident.
  • During the incident – verify safe actions and communication.
  • Post‑incident review – ensure reporting and make‑safe actions are completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed immediately before proceeding.

The checklist is completed on‑site by the lone operative. Answers are recorded directly on a mobile device or paper form. Any ‘No’ response triggers an immediate corrective step such as calling for backup, securing the area or pausing the response, and the record is reviewed by a supervisor after the incident.

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

Compliant with: Private Security Industry Act 2001.
