Risk Assessment Description:

This spillage and wet floor management safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards, CCTV operators and facility managers ensure floors remain safe for staff and visitors.

It covers the essential checks for spill response, floor condition, signage, cleaning chemicals and personal protective equipment, and references the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992 which require floors to be suitable, in good condition and free from obstructions.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑emptive spill control – verify that preventative measures and equipment are ready before any incident.
  • Ongoing floor safety monitoring – regularly inspect high‑traffic areas for wet surfaces or residues.
  • Post‑incident clean‑up and sign‑off – ensure spills are fully cleared and the area is safe before resuming normal operation.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be acted upon immediately to prevent slips and trips.

To use the checklist, operatives tick Yes, No or N/A for each item, record any No responses, and take immediate corrective action before allowing access. The completed record should be retained for audit and future reference.

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

Compliant with: Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to 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?

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.
