Risk Assessment Description:

This places of worship security safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards and facility managers ensure safe, secure environments for worshippers and visitors.

It covers all essential safety and security aspects, including risk assessment for hostile or hate‑crime threats, crowd flow management, safeguarding vulnerable attendees, emergency evacuation, and compliance with the Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025. The checklist aligns with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and public safety best practice.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event security checks — verify plans, equipment and staffing before services or festivals.
  • Live event monitoring — confirm ongoing safety measures during gatherings.
  • Post‑event review — ensure temporary measures are removed and incidents recorded.

To use the checklist, walk through each question on site, record a Yes, No or N/A answer, and immediately address any No responses by implementing corrective actions or escalating to management.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A — any No answer must be addressed immediately to protect attendees and staff.

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

Compliant with: Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
