Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for stadium and arena operations staff responsible for changing over pitches, courts and arena floors for concerts, festivals and events. It provides a structured approach to safely manage the heavy manual handling of floor sections and staging components, the use of plant and equipment such as forklifts, and the pressures of tight changeover schedules.

Use this checklist to verify that risk assessments are in place, mechanical aids are provided, personnel are competent, and that all relevant safety controls – including PPE and safe storage of substances – are applied. It also guides you on permitting, site preparation, emergency stop controls and fire safety equipment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring safe manual handling of floor and staging components
  • Verifying that plant and equipment are suitable, inspected and operated safely
  • Managing risks associated with tight changeover schedules and time pressure

How to use: Review each question before work starts, answer Yes, No or N/A, and take corrective action where the answer is No or N/A. Keep the completed checklist on site for audit and continuous improvement.

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Fully editable and shareable.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
