Risk Assessment Description:

This racket sports court safety checklist template helps duty managers and supervisors in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure facilities ensure tennis, squash and badminton courts are safe for use.

It covers essential areas including floor grip and markings, net post fixing, wall and glass condition, lighting levels, player separation and associated safety measures. The checklist aligns with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. It incorporates checks for risk assessment, competence, environment, equipment, substances, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements, providing a comprehensive audit of court safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Routine inspections of racket sports courts before opening to the public.
  • Spot‑checks after maintenance or cleaning activities.
  • Verification that corrective actions have been completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be addressed before the court is used. Record findings, implement corrective actions and sign off the inspection to maintain a safe playing environment.

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; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.
