Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist assists facilities and maintenance personnel in performing a comprehensive inspection of equipment storage areas within sports halls, gyms and leisure centres. It ensures that goals, nets, posts and dividers are stored securely, remain undamaged and are positioned to prevent trips, falls, toppling or equipment failure. By following a systematic series of closed Yes/No/N/A questions, staff can quickly verify compliance with the relevant health and safety duties.

Use this checklist for:

  • Routine monthly inspections of equipment storage zones
  • Pre‑event checks before sporting activities commence
  • Annual safety audits of leisure facilities

The inspection covers key areas such as authorised access, housekeeping, manual handling aids, anchoring of equipment, stacking heights, condition monitoring, lighting, fire routes and the provision of personal protective equipment. Each question is designed to be answerable on the spot, enabling swift corrective action where a non‑conformance is identified.

Regular use of this checklist helps maintain a safe environment, reduces the likelihood of equipment‑related accidents and supports compliance with PUWER 1998 and other relevant health‑and‑safety legislation.

Fully editable and shareable – adapt the checklist to suit your specific facility layout, equipment inventory and organisational procedures.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER). This regulation requires that work equipment is suitable, maintained and inspected regularly to protect users and others who may be affected.
