Risk Assessment Description:

Use this checklist for:

  • Patrolling large warehouse areas, including aisles and loading bays.
  • Monitoring CCTV and controlling entry points.
  • Responding to theft, unauthorised access, and emergency situations.
  • Ensuring safe interaction with moving plant and vehicles.
  • Coordinating fire evacuation of stored goods.

Compliant with: Private Security Industry Act 2001, Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005.

Fully editable and shareable.

This checklist assists security personnel in maintaining a safe and secure environment within warehouses and distribution centres. It covers the identification of hazards such as moving plant, vehicle traffic, unauthorised persons, and fire risks associated with stored goods. By following the questions, operatives can verify that control measures are in place, that emergency procedures are understood, and that the venue complies with statutory requirements.

It should be completed at the start of each shift and after any incident. Operatives answer Yes, No or N/A to each item; a No response triggers immediate corrective action and escalation to the duty manager. Records of completed checklists provide evidence of due diligence to regulators and support continuous improvement.

The checklist should be reviewed with the shift supervisor and any identified gaps addressed before the next patrol. It provides a clear record for health and safety audits and demonstrates compliance with statutory duties.
