Risk Assessment Description:

This water slide and flume daily safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps lifeguards and pool supervisors confirm that the slide and flume are safe for public use in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure facilities before each operating day.

The checklist covers the full range of safety dimensions required for a water slide environment – from a current risk assessment and staff competence, through safe water temperature, flow rate and joint integrity, to dispatch signalling, landing supervision, water quality, personal protective equipment and emergency preparedness. It reflects the guidance set out in HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools and meets the overarching duties of the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Specific checks include water flow verification, leak detection at flume joints, correct operation of the dispatch signal, appropriate run‑off pool depth and the condition of start‑platform railings and landing pads.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑opening checks – confirm the slide and flume are ready before the public arrives.
  • Daily operational inspections – verify water flow, safety devices and supervision throughout the day.
  • Post‑use reviews – record any defects and ensure the area is left safe.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the slide is operated. Record the outcome, sign the daily log and take corrective action where required.

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

Compliant with: HSG179 Managing Health and Safety in Swimming Pools; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

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.

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.
