Risk Assessment Description:

This 110V power tools pre-use safety checklist template is designed for construction sites to verify that portable electric tools are safe before each use. It supports supervisors and operatives in confirming that equipment, documentation and the work environment meet the requirements of the Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and relevant HSE guidance on electrically powered equipment.

The checklist covers essential checks such as risk assessment, competence, work‑area conditions, tool condition, electrical safety features (PAT testing, RCD protection, insulation resistance), appropriate personal protective equipment and emergency provisions. By completing the checklist, users can identify and correct any issues before the tool is powered on, helping to prevent electrical accidents, injuries and tool damage.

Use this checklist for:

Pre‑use inspections of each 110V power tool
Site safety audits to ensure consistent compliance across the workforce
Toolbox briefings that reinforce safe handling of low‑voltage equipment

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

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER); HSE guidance on electrically powered equipment.

The checklist can be printed or completed digitally on a tablet or smartphone. Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be corrected before the tool is powered on. Records are kept for audit and future reference.

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.

How often should safety checklists be completed?

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.

Are the checklists a substitute for a risk assessment?

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.
