Risk Assessment Description:

This pupil and public toilet safety checklist template helps school caretakers and premises staff ensure toilet facilities are hygienic, safe and compliant with legislation.

It covers all essential aspects of toilet safety, including competence, cleaning procedures, water temperature control, slip hazards, chemical handling, lighting, privacy and emergency provisions. The checklist also addresses waste management, sight‑line monitoring and the provision of first‑aid resources, ensuring that the facility meets the basic health and safety duties of the employer under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE guidance on welfare facilities.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑inspection checks – verify readiness before daily use.
  • Routine inspections – spot‑check cleanliness and safety during operation.
  • Audit and compliance – demonstrate adherence to health and safety duties.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed before the toilet is used.

Regular use of this checklist supports continuous improvement, helps identify emerging risks and provides documented evidence for inspections or audits. It can be integrated into daily cleaning schedules and safety tours, ensuring that all hazards are systematically reviewed.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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.
