Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is designed for duty managers and supervisors to verify that a sports hall is safe and ready for use before any session begins. It covers all critical aspects of the facility, ensuring a safe environment for participants and staff.

Use this checklist to confirm that floor surfaces and markings are clear, goalposts and dividers are secure, wall padding and fixtures are intact, equipment storage is tidy, and that all relevant safety measures such as emergency routes, lighting and personal protective equipment are in place.

Use this checklist for:

  • Verifying floor surface condition and markings.
  • Confirming goalpost, net and divider security.
  • Inspecting wall padding, fixtures and surrounding areas.
  • Ensuring equipment storage is tidy and free from hazards.
  • Checking emergency routes, lighting and fire safety provisions.
  • Confirming availability and condition of required PPE.

How to use: Conduct the inspection on the day of the session, answer each question with Yes, No or N/A, and record any corrective actions required. The checklist can be edited and shared across sites to maintain consistent safety standards.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. This legislation underpins the duty of care for all occupants. Additional relevant standards include the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Work at Height Regulations 2005 where applicable.
