Risk Assessment Description:

This marina hospitality safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps marina and berth‑holder staff ensure safe hospitality operations, from pontoon use to clubhouse services.

It covers key safety areas including risk assessment, staff competence, weather conditions, pontoon and slip integrity, fuel handling, fire precautions, emergency preparedness, PPE, waste management, electrical safety and food hygiene. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and relevant HSE guidance for ports and marine facilities. It also reflects best practice for managing water‑related hazards, ensuring that guests and employees are protected from slips, trips, falls, drowning risks and fuel‑related incidents.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift inspections – verify that the environment and equipment are safe before guests arrive.
  • Ongoing site checks – spot‑check conditions during operating hours.
  • Shift hand‑over – confirm the area is left secure and tidy at the end of the day.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before work continues or before the shift ends.

To use the checklist, the supervisor or designated staff member reviews each question during the morning walk‑around, marks Yes, No or N/A, and records any No responses. Immediate corrective actions are taken and a brief note is added to the log before the area is opened to guests.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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.
