Risk Assessment Description:

This sharps and sanitary waste in changing rooms safety checklist template supports cleaning and housekeeping staff in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure facilities to manage sharps and bodily‑fluid waste safely and hygienically.

The checklist is designed around the requirements of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and HSE guidance on hazardous waste handling. It helps ensure that containers are correctly placed, labelled and maintained, that staff have the right personal protective equipment, and that spill response provisions are readily available.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – confirm waste containers are in good condition, correctly positioned and not overfilled before cleaning begins.
  • Routine cleaning – verify that sharps and sanitary waste are collected, replaced and disposed of safely each shift.
  • Incident response – ensure spill kits and first‑aid measures are ready for any needlestick or bodily‑fluid spill.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before work continues.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to suit your facility, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

The checklist can be printed for on‑site use or accessed digitally on a tablet, allowing quick verification during each cleaning cycle and providing a clear audit trail for health and safety inspections.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH).

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.
