Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports electricians, electrical installers and supervisors to safely carry out cable pulling and installation work in line with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. It is intended for use before work begins, during the task and on completion to ensure every step meets legal and best‑practice requirements. It also supports compliance audits and demonstrates adherence to statutory duties.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing the suitability of the work area and equipment
  • Verifying that all personnel are competent and protected
  • Confirming safe isolation, testing and control measures
  • Ensuring that cables are installed, documented and maintained correctly

The checklist is composed of closed Yes/No/N/A questions that can be completed on paper or electronically. It can be integrated into existing safety management systems, printed for field use or shared digitally with teams. All answers should be recorded and retained for the duration of the project.

It is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt wording, add site‑specific references or incorporate additional risk controls without losing the core compliance framework.

It can be printed as a paper form, completed on a tablet or loaded into digital risk‑assessment software, providing a clear audit trail for inspectors and client audits.

Use this tool to record compliance and provide evidence for client or regulator inspections.

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