What a sanitiser station checklist is
A sanitiser station checklist is a structured list used to keep hand-sanitiser points in working order — stocked, dispensing correctly, clean and located at useful points such as entrances and high-touch areas. Sanitiser supplements, rather than replaces, proper handwashing.
This page is an educational overview with a simplified example. It is not an official template, not jurisdiction-specific and not legal advice — the employer decides where and whether sanitiser is provided.
Purpose
- Confirm sanitiser stations are stocked and dispensing.
- Check placement at useful, accessible points.
- Support cleanliness and basic upkeep of units.
- Provide a prompt so stations do not run dry unnoticed.
Who completes it
- Cleaning staff, a facilities lead or appointed person.
- With input from users on placement and supply.
- Reviewed within the employer’s hygiene process.
- It is the employer’s responsibility to decide on provision.
When it is used
- On a routine cycle defined by the employer.
- When stations are installed or relocated.
- During periods of heightened hygiene measures.
- After reports of empty or faulty units.
Typical items
- Location, date and the person completing the check.
- Unit stocked and dispensing correctly.
- Placement accessible and at useful points.
- Unit and surrounding area clean.
- Issues found and sign-off.
- Example items only — adapt to your setting and the applicable law.
Common mistakes
- Empty units that go unnoticed for long periods.
- Stations placed where no one uses them.
- Treating sanitiser as a substitute for handwashing.
- Faulty dispensers left unrepaired.
Document workflow
A sanitiser station checklist works alongside the hand-hygiene and welfare checks and connects to cleaning routines. Empty or faulty units feed restocking and maintenance, and placement concerns feed a review.

Retention (high level)
Hygiene records are typically kept for a period set by the employer and any applicable rules. This page does not state a required period — confirm with the applicable law and the official authority.
Completing and sharing as a PDF
Sanitiser checks are often recorded and stored as PDFs alongside hygiene records. Exporting to PDF supports the record; it does not make the check official or guarantee compliance.

Hygiene expectations vary by country and setting, and the official authority differs. This page is general and high-level — not a statement of any country’s law and not a guarantee of validity.
Confirm current requirements with the official authority for your country and a qualified professional.
