Risk Assessment Description:

This Ceiling Voids and Under Floors Electrical Safety Checklist helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe electrical work when accessing ceiling voids and under‑floor spaces.

It covers all essential safety dimensions – planning and documentation, competence, work environment, specific electrical hazards, equipment and tools, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and final make‑safe checks. The checklist complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, HSG85 and the BS 7671 wiring regulations. It also addresses arc‑flash risk, correct test sequence and BS 7671 compliance for isolation and earthing.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start isolation and risk verification before entering a ceiling void or under‑floor space.
  • In‑process verification of live‑work controls and PPE while work is underway.
  • Post‑work sign‑off to confirm the area is safe to re‑occupy.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work proceeds or before the area is released.

To use the checklist, mark “Yes” for satisfactory items, “No” for any that are not, and “N/A” where the question does not apply. Record any “No” findings, implement corrective actions and retain the completed checklist as part of the work record for audit purposes.

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

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; HSG85; BS 7671.

Are the safety checklists suitable for UK workplaces?

Yes. The checklists are written around UK health and safety good practice and HSE guidance, and are suitable for inspections, audits, toolbox checks and routine workplace monitoring.

Do I need an account to use the checklist templates?

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.

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.
