Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for daily safety inspections of retail stockrooms, including supermarkets, department stores, market stalls and pop‑up shops. It helps staff verify that storage, handling, housekeeping and fire safety measures are maintained to protect employees and customers.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying the condition and stability of racking and pallets
  • Ensuring safe stacking and manual handling practices
  • Checking floor cleanliness, aisle clearance and fire safety provisions
  • Confirming staff competence and appropriate use of PPE

To use, walk through the stockroom and answer each question with Yes, No or N/A. Record any non‑compliances and take corrective action before the end of the shift. Review the checklist at the start of each workday and keep a copy on site for reference.

Planning and permits: ensure any required permits, risk assessments or authorisations for hazardous substances or special storage are current and displayed.

How to keep records: note the date, inspector name and any actions taken on a log sheet, and store the completed checklist for at least six months as evidence of compliance.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Work at Height Regulations 2005.

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

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.
