Risk Assessment Description:

This Retail Window Dressing Safety Checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps shop‑floor staff and managers ensure that window displays and promotional fittings are installed safely for both employees and the public.

It covers all key safety areas including planning, competence, work environment, manual handling of props, safe use of steps and ladders, glass inspection, electrical fittings, public barriers, PPE, emergency provisions, post‑work clean‑up and safe storage of materials and waste disposal. The checklist is aligned with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and reflects HSE guidance on glass safety and retail environments.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm risk assessments, training and equipment are in place before work begins.
  • During the job – monitor safe handling, barriers and public protection while the display is being erected.
  • Completion – verify the area is left tidy, hazards removed and records updated.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before the work can continue.

To use the checklist, the appointed supervisor should tick Yes, No or N/A for each question as the work progresses. Any No response must be recorded, the issue corrected and the step re‑checked before continuing. The completed record can be filed for audit and future reference.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

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

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
