Risk Assessment Description:

This university campus security duty safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps security operatives, door supervisors, stewards, CCTV operators and duty managers confirm that night patrols and public‑safety duties are carried out safely on higher‑education sites.

It covers planning and documentation, competence and training, site conditions, specific hazards such as intoxicated students, lone working communication, protest and disorder response, equipment and protective measures, emergency arrangements and make‑safe actions. It references the Private Security Industry Act 2001 and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift preparation – verify risk assessments, permits and briefings are in place.
  • During patrols – confirm site conditions, communication and response capabilities.
  • Post‑shift debrief – ensure incidents are recorded and the area is left secure.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be investigated and resolved before continuing the duty.

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

To use the checklist, print a copy for each shift, record responses in real time, and retain the completed form in the security shift log for audit and continuous improvement.

Compliant with: Private Security Industry Act 2001; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

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.
