Risk Assessment Description:

This domestic electrical installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, installers and supervisors confirm that every domestic wiring job is carried out safely and in line with UK legislation.

It covers all key safety dimensions – planning, competence, work environment, task‑specific hazards, plant and tools, substances, PPE, collective measures, emergency provisions and final make‑safe – and references the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), Building Regulations Part P and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Use it to verify that each step of the installation meets the required standards.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm isolation, competence and design compliance before work starts.
  • During‑work inspections – verify that protective devices, earthing and test equipment are correct.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – ensure testing, certification and site clearance are completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be resolved before proceeding to the next stage of the job.

Record the results on the site log and ensure any non‑compliant items are rectified before moving to the next phase of the installation.

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); Building Regulations Part P; Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

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?

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

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.
