Risk Assessment Description:

This commercial plumbing installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone assists plumbers, heating engineers, Gas Safe registered engineers and supervisors to ensure safe and compliant installation of water and gas services in commercial buildings.

The checklist covers all essential safety dimensions, including authorisation and planning, competence and supervision, site conditions, task‑specific hazards, tools and equipment, substances, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and final make‑safe checks. It references the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, BS EN 806 and relevant HSE guidance, as well as the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm risk assessments, method statements, permits and isolation procedures are in place.
  • During‑installation inspections – verify safe work practices, PPE, equipment condition and correct pipe routing.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – record testing results, ensure back‑flow prevention devices, flushing, disinfecting and final documentation are completed.

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

Use the checklist by ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item; any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before proceeding to the next stage of work.

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

Compliant with: Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999; BS EN 806; Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

No — guests can build and download a checklist for free without signing up. Register a free account if you want to save checklists to your dashboard and edit them later.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
