Risk Assessment Description:

This lone working at events safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps event crews and staff ensure that any individual working alone on build, de‑rig, or isolated site tasks is protected and the associated risks are controlled.

The checklist follows the requirements of the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the HSE lone‑working guidance. It covers risk assessment, competence, site isolation, reliable communications, emergency response, personal protective equipment and equipment safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑task checks – confirm the lone worker is prepared, equipped and the environment is safe before work starts.
  • During‑task monitoring – verify ongoing safety, communication and hazard control while the worker is alone.
  • Post‑task handover – ensure the area is left safe and any incidents are recorded.Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the worker proceeds or escalated immediately. The checklist can be printed or used digitally on a tablet or phone, making it easy to update on site.

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

    Compliant with: Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

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.
