Risk Assessment Description:

This sauna and steam room safety checklist template assists gym, pool and leisure centre staff in maintaining high‑heat facilities that are safe for users and compliant with legislation. It draws on the general duties set out in the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and recognised best‑practice guidance for leisure facilities.

The checklist is structured to support a systematic inspection before each session, during daily operation and after every use. It covers risk assessment, staff competence, environmental conditions, temperature and timer controls, equipment guards, ventilation, emergency call points, PPE, cleaning and maintenance records, and the final make‑safe checks required to protect both patrons and employees.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑session inspections – confirm equipment, temperature and ventilation are within safe limits before users enter.
  • Daily operational checks – verify guards, cut‑outs, timers, benches, doors and emergency systems are functional.
  • Post‑session reviews – ensure the area is left safe, cleaned and ready for the next use.Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any “No” response must be resolved before the facility is used or before the next session begins.

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

    Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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?

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

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.
