Risk Assessment Description:

This wet floor and slip management safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps cleaning and housekeeping staff in commercial gyms, swimming pools and leisure centres ensure floors are safe for users and staff.

It covers the full range of checks required for slip risk control – from risk assessments and staff training to signage placement, anti‑slip matting, cleaning equipment condition and spill response – aligning with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and relevant HSE guidance on flooring and slip prevention.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑shift inspections – verify that wet‑floor hazards are identified and mitigated before the facility opens.
  • Routine cleaning checks – confirm that cleaning practices, equipment and signage remain effective throughout operation.
  • Incident follow‑up – record actions taken after a spill or slip event.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No answer must be acted on immediately and recorded in the facility log.

To use the checklist, staff should review each question at the start of their shift, mark Yes, No or N/A, and promptly address any No responses. Completed checklists are logged and retained for audit and compliance purposes.

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

Regular monitoring of floor conditions reduces the risk of slip injuries, which are a leading cause of claims in leisure settings. By following this checklist you demonstrate compliance with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and support your duties under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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.

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.

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.
