Outdoor Safety Checklist - Forms and Checklists

The Outdoor Safety Checklist supports educators in conducting consistent, thorough safety checks across outdoor learning environments. Aligned with the National Quality Standard (NQS), it ensures daily monitoring of gates, equipment, natural hazards, weather conditions, and supervision zones. The notes allow teams to document observations, maintenance actions, and follow-ups—promoting accountability and continuous improvement. By embedding this checklist into everyday practice, services can create safer, more responsive outdoor spaces that protect children’s well-being while supporting exploration, agency, and play. This template includes:

• Checkbox for each check
