Risk Assessment Description:

This splash pad and water feature safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps pool plant operators, technicians and facility managers ensure safe operation of splash pads and water features in commercial gyms, leisure centres and swimming pools.

It covers all key areas including risk assessments, staff competence, water quality monitoring, slip‑resistant surfaces, jet and grate entrapment safeguards, chemical handling, personal protective equipment and emergency procedures. It references the HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools and the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm the feature is safe before opening to the public.
  • Routine weekly checks – verify water quality, equipment condition and signage.
  • Incident investigations – record findings after any near‑miss or accident.

When completing the checklist, mark each question with Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before the splash pad is reopened to the public. Keep a record of the completed checklist for audit and regulatory inspection.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the splash pad is used.

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

Compliant with: HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools; Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974.

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.

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.
