Risk Assessment Description:

This access control installation safety checklist template helps electricians, electrical installers, test & inspection engineers and supervisors ensure a safe and compliant installation of access control systems.

It covers planning, competence, isolation, test sequence, wiring, protective devices, PPE, arc‑flash risk, and emergency arrangements, referencing the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The checklist follows the 10‑dimension framework to capture all critical safety aspects, including verification of isolation, cable management, protection device selection and compliance with statutory requirements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify risk assessments, permits, isolation and competence before work begins.
  • During‑installation inspections – confirm wiring, protection devices and test results as the system is built.
  • Final hand‑over and sign‑off – ensure the installation is fully tested, documented and safe for use.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No answer must be resolved before proceeding to the next step, and the completed record should be retained for audit and future maintenance.

During the installation the supervisor reviews each question, marks the response and ensures any corrective action is taken before moving to the next stage, providing a clear audit trail.

The completed checklist provides a clear record of compliance, supports audit readiness and helps demonstrate adherence to the relevant regulations during client hand‑over.

Before any live work, verify that all conductors are de‑energised, test equipment is calibrated and any temporary connections are removed prior to commissioning, ensuring compliance with BS 7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

It also aligns with HSE guidance on electrical safety in construction and supports safe commissioning and ongoing maintenance of the system.

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

Compliant with: BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations); Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
