Safety checklists in ComplyNest are recurring task lists that ensure your center completes required safety activities on schedule. You can create checklists for fire drills, facility walkthroughs, playground inspections, and more.

How to Create a Safety Task

  1. Go to Safety & Inspections in the left navigation menu.
  2. Click Add Safety Task.
  3. Enter a task name and description.
  4. Select the safety category (Fire & Emergency, Playground, Facility, Medication, Health & Sanitation, or Other).
  5. Set the due date and recurrence (monthly, quarterly, annually, custom).
  6. Assign the task to a staff member.
  7. Specify whether evidence (a photo, document, or note) is required to complete the task.
  8. Click Save.

Task Fields

  • Task Name — short label shown in the checklist.
  • Description — step-by-step guidance for the person completing the task.
  • Category — determines which safety area the task appears under.
  • Recurrence — how often the task repeats after completion.
  • Assigned To — the staff member responsible.
  • Evidence Required — whether a document or photo must be uploaded to mark complete.
Assign each safety task to a specific person. Unassigned tasks tend to fall through the cracks when everyone assumes someone else is handling them.
