Risk Assessment Description:

This retail automatic entrance door safety checklist template assists shop‑floor staff and retail assistants in verifying that automatic doors in shops, supermarkets, shopping centres and market stalls operate safely for customers and employees. The checklist is designed for daily pre‑use checks, routine spot‑inspections and maintenance verification, ensuring any fault is identified before the public uses the door.

It covers competence, surrounding environment, glass condition, sensor and safety‑edge function, anti‑pinch devices, manual release, emergency stop, power supply, protective guards, signage, PPE, first‑aid provisions and maintenance records. The checklist aligns with the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and HSE guidance on powered doors, providing a practical method to meet legal duties.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – confirm the door is safe before opening to the public each day.
  • Routine inspections – spot‑check the door during operation to catch emerging faults.
  • Maintenance verification – ensure the maintenance log is current and corrective actions are taken.

Answer Yes, No or N/A for each item; any No response must be resolved before the door is used. Record actions taken and keep the checklist accessible to all staff.

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

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.
