Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports pool plant operators and technicians in commercial gyms, swimming pools and sports leisure facilities to consistently monitor and maintain water quality. It provides a clear, step‑by‑step process for daily and routine testing, ensuring that water chemistry remains within safe limits and that any deviations are promptly corrected.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily and routine free and combined chlorine testing
  • pH, temperature and turbidity measurements
  • Bacteriological sampling and laboratory analysis
  • Recording chemical dosing adjustments

It ensures testing is performed safely, records are accurate and chemical handling complies with Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). The checklist aligns with HSE swimming pool guidance and industry best practice.

Operators should complete the checklist at each testing interval, signing the log entry to confirm the readings and actions taken. Any out‑of‑range results must trigger the documented corrective actions and be reported to the facility manager.

Before each testing session, verify that the latest water quality logbook is accessible and that any previous out‑of‑range results have been addressed. Follow the facility’s standard operating procedure for corrective actions, including notifying the pool manager and adjusting chemical dosing as required. Review the log weekly to confirm trends remain within regulatory limits and that equipment maintenance is up‑to‑date.

Regular review of the checklist against the latest pool water quality testing standards helps maintain compliance and protects users from chemical exposure, microbial hazards and equipment failure.

Fully editable and shareable – customise to your facility’s procedures and logbook format.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).
