Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for owners and operators of small‑accommodation establishments such as guest houses and B&Bs. It helps you verify that both guest rooms and the associated breakfast service area are safe for guests and staff. It ensures that risk assessments are current, that safe food handling practices are followed and that slip hazards are identified and controlled.

Use this checklist to confirm that risk assessments are up to date, that cleaning and food‑preparation practices meet health and safety standards, and that any hazards such as slips, burns, manual‑handling loads or chemical exposure are properly controlled.

Use this checklist for:

  • Daily pre‑opening inspection of guest rooms
  • Morning preparation of the breakfast service area
  • Regular safety audits of housekeeping and catering activities

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the questions to suit the specific layout and equipment of your property.

How to use: conduct the inspection at the start of each operating day, record any non‑conformities and assign corrective actions. Review the findings weekly, update the checklist when new equipment is introduced, and ensure staff training is refreshed regularly. Maintaining this record demonstrates compliance with legislation and supports a safe environment for guests and employees.

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?

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?

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.
