Risk Assessment Description:

This pub cellar gas and keg handling safety checklist assists licensed venue staff in maintaining safe conditions when working with pressurised gases and kegs in cellar environments. It is designed for routine inspections, training verification and compliance audits.

The checklist addresses key hazards such as gas leaks, oxygen deficiency, CO₂ displacement, accidental releases and manual handling injuries. It incorporates the requirements of the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR) and relevant HSE guidance for catering and hospitality premises.

Use this checklist for:

  • Routine inspections before and during gas/keg operations
  • Confirming staff competence and equipment maintenance
  • Demonstrating compliance with legal duties

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be resolved before work continues. Record answers, investigate non‑compliance and implement corrective actions promptly.

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

The checklist can be printed and displayed at the cellar entrance or accessed digitally on a tablet. Record answers on the form, sign off any corrective actions and retain the record for inspection.

Regular use helps prevent gas leaks, reduces fire or explosion risk and ensures staff are protected, supporting a safe environment for customers and employees. It also provides documented evidence of compliance with DSEAR for health and safety auditors.

Compliant with: Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 (DSEAR).

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.

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.
