Risk Assessment Description:

This sports day safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps school leaders and duty managers ensure that all aspects of a school sports day are planned and carried out safely for pupils, staff and spectators.

It covers risk assessment, staff competence, site layout, equipment and activity zones, spectator management, heat and hydration, first aid provision and emergency procedures, aligning with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and HSE event safety guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event planning – confirm risks are assessed and controls are in place before the day starts.
  • On‑site safety checks – verify that the track, field and equipment are safe during the event.
  • Post‑event review – ensure the site is left safe and any incidents are recorded.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the activity proceeds or corrective action taken immediately.

Use the checklist by marking each item as Yes, No or N/A during the event; record any No responses, implement corrective actions promptly, and retain the completed form for audit and future planning.

Fully editable and shareable — customise the questions to your school, download as a PDF and share with staff, volunteers and parents.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; HSE Event Safety guidance.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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.
