Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports security operatives, door supervisors, stewards, CCTV/control‑room operators and facility managers responsible for reception, concierge and front‑of‑house duties. It ensures that all essential controls are in place to protect staff, visitors and the premises from aggression, unauthorised access, slips, trips and other hazards typical of a public lobby environment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑shift security briefings
  • Visitor screening and access control procedures
  • Lone‑working and evacuation responsibilities
  • Ensuring compliance with the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and relevant health‑and‑safety legislation

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit your site’s specific risk profile and operational requirements.

Compliant with: Private Security Industry Act 2001, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

How to use: Before each shift the operative should review each item, record Yes/No/N/A and take immediate action on any “No”. The completed checklist can be stored digitally or in a binder and reviewed by supervisors during audits. Update the checklist regularly to reflect changes in procedures, layout or legislation.

Regular reviews ensure the checklist remains current with evolving threats and legislative updates.

Maintain vigilance and regularly update procedures to reflect emerging threats.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
