Risk Assessment Description:

This tattoo and piercing studio safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone assists studio owners, artists and support staff in maintaining a safe, hygienic environment for clients and workers.

It aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH) and the Blood‑borne Virus (BBV) and Sharps Control guidance, covering risk assessment, client consent, skin preparation, instrument sterilisation, single‑use item control, sharps disposal, chemical handling, PPE, ventilation and emergency procedures.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑session inspections – verify the studio is ready before any client arrives.
  • Daily safety rounds – confirm ongoing compliance throughout the operating day.
  • Incident follow‑up – ensure corrective actions are taken after any breach.

The checklist supports compliance with HSE guidance on infection control, chemical safety and BBV risk management, helping you demonstrate due diligence during inspections.

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

The checklist can be printed or accessed digitally on a tablet during each session. Record any corrective actions directly on the form and retain it for at least 12 months as evidence of compliance. Regular review supports continuous improvement and demonstrates due diligence to inspectors.

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH); Blood‑borne Virus (BBV) and Sharps Control.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
