Risk Assessment Description:

This continuity testing safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, test engineers and supervisors verify that protective conductors and ring final circuits are correctly tested and safe before re‑energising.

It covers the full range of checks required for safe continuity testing, including planning, competence, isolation, test equipment condition, PPE, test methodology, recording of results and emergency measures. The checklist aligns with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) Part 6, GS38 guidance and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑test preparation – confirm risk assessments, method statements, isolation and competence.
  • In‑process testing – verify equipment, test sequence, protective measures and collective safety.
  • Post‑test sign‑off – record results, restore power safely and store equipment.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the circuit is re‑energised.

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

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item. Any No response must be investigated and corrective action taken before the circuit is re‑energised. Record the date, circuit identifier and the name of the person completing the test. Keep the completed checklist with the test book for future reference and audits.

Compliant with: BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) Part 6; GS38; Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

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.

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?
