A safety-register template for hotels

A template helps on day one. It becomes a risk the day you believe it keeps itself. Here is what it must cover, and what it does not replace.

This guide is an aid to understanding, not legal advice. The law applicable to a given property depends on its classification, its occupancy and the prescriptions of the competent safety commission. Check the cited texts before acting on them.

The template, as a PDF

Nine print-ready pages: property identification, periodic checks, findings and closures, training, works, incidents. No intervals — they live in the France guide, cited on the cover. Download the template (PDF, French)

What a good template holds

Not a form to fill once: a structure that takes a new line each time a check runs, a finding opens, or a training is held.

  • One line per check, with date, contractor and evidence
  • One line per finding, open until proof of closure
  • Staff training and its certificates
  • Safety-relevant works, dated

Why a frozen PDF does not hold

On the day, the commission reads what happened since last time. A template downloaded two years ago and never revisited says exactly that: it did not keep up. Required content is set by article R.143-44 CCH; the form is not — the keeping is what counts.

Intervals do not live in the template

A template that lists “every X months” creates a second copy of the intervals to maintain. Frequencies and the text behind them live in the France guide; the register only traces what was done.

The version that updates itself

Paco keeps the register from your documents: a report dropped in or arriving by email updates the obligation it proves. The template then becomes the start, not the day-to-day tool.

Common questions

Can I stay on a spreadsheet?

Yes, as long as it is current and every line has its evidence. The risk is not the format — it is quiet abandonment.

Where do I find the intervals to keep?

In the France guide: each check is tied to its text there. Nothing is copied here.
