Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a practical, daily inspection tool for reception and front‑of‑house staff at gyms, swimming pools and other leisure facilities. It helps ensure public‑facing areas are safe, clean and compliant with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. The checklist covers slip‑trip‑fall hazards, emergency alarm functionality, security measures, queue management, and first‑aid and AED signage.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying entrance mats are clean, correctly positioned and free of debris to prevent slips.
  • Ensuring floor surfaces are dry, lighting is adequate and emergency exit signs are illuminated.
  • Confirming panic alarms, security tills, CCTV and access‑control systems operate correctly.
  • Checking first‑aid kits, AED signage and fire extinguishers are visible, stocked and up‑to‑date.
  • Validating staff competence, risk assessments and appropriate PPE such as non‑slip footwear.

How to use: Conduct the inspection at the start of each operating day, record Yes/No/N/A answers, and address any issues before the facility opens to the public. Keep records for at least 12 months as evidence of compliance.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit the specific layout and equipment of your facility.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Daily safety inspections are a best practice under this legislation.
