Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring the security of exhibits and artefacts
  • Managing crowd flow and public safety in galleries
  • Lone patrols of listed buildings and heritage sites
  • Fire safety and emergency evacuation of heritage premises
  • Verifying that all security staff are trained and operating under the Private Security Industry Act 2001
  • Confirming that incident reporting and log‑keeping procedures are up‑to‑date

This document supports security operatives in museums, galleries and heritage sites to maintain the safety of collections, staff and visitors.

It outlines duties such as access control, CCTV monitoring, crowd density management, fire‑safety system testing, and compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001. By following the checklist, staff can demonstrate due diligence and meet legal obligations.

The checklist should be reviewed weekly by the site manager to ensure ongoing compliance and to update any changes in security procedures or legislation. Any identified gaps must be rectified promptly, with corrective actions recorded. Regular audits should be documented and any deficiencies addressed within 24 hours to maintain continuous protection.

How to use: complete each item daily or before each shift, record responses in the incident log and address any “No” or “N/A” answers promptly. The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing adaptation to the specific layout, collections and risk profile of each venue. Compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001 is confirmed throughout.

Compliant with: Private Security Industry Act 2001

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.
