Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a practical, step‑by‑step guide for retail staff responsible for restocking vending machines, ensuring the safety of employees and the public while maintaining product integrity and cash security.

Use this checklist for:

  • Safe manual handling of stock and cash.
  • Verification of electrical and refrigeration safety of vending machines.
  • Prevention of machine tip‑over and protection of customers.
  • Ensuring the cash drawer is securely managed.

How to use: Complete the checklist before each restocking operation. Record a “Yes”, “No” or “N/A” for each item. If any answer is “No”, resolve the issue or report it to a supervisor before proceeding. Keep the completed form on‑site for reference and audit.

The safe operation of vending machines in busy retail settings reduces the risk of injuries to staff handling heavy loads, prevents product contamination, and protects customers from accidental exposure to moving parts or electrical faults. By following this checklist, retailers can demonstrate compliance with health and safety legislation, reduce downtime caused by equipment failure, and maintain a trustworthy environment for cash transactions. It also supports audit readiness and continuous improvement of safety practices.

Compliant with: Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

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