Risk Assessment Description:

This earth fault loop impedance testing safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, test engineers and supervisors confirm that loop impedance measurements are carried out safely and in compliance with the relevant regulations.

It covers all critical safety dimensions for the task – planning and documentation, competence and training, safe work environment, specific testing hazards, equipment and test‑instrument checks, protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency provisions and final sign‑off. The checklist aligns with BS 7671 Part 6, HSE guidance GS38 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑test preparation – verify isolation, PPE and test‑equipment readiness.
  • In‑process testing – ensure each measurement step is performed safely.
  • Post‑test documentation – record results and confirm the circuit is made safe.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding to the next step.

Use the checklist by ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item, recording any No responses, investigating the cause and implementing corrective actions before continuing. This practice ensures compliance and protects personnel from electric shock, arc‑flash and burns.

No hazardous substances are normally present during loop‑impedance testing, so the substances dimension is not applicable.

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

Compliant with: BS 7671 Part 6; GS38; Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Checks covered in this Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing checklist

This Earth Fault Loop Impedance Testing safety checklist template covers 23 checks. Customise the questions to your workplace, then download a professional, print-ready PDF with Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space.

#Checklist item
1Has a risk assessment for the circuit and test activity been completed and briefed to all operatives?
2Is the operative trained and competent to perform earth fault loop impedance testing?
3Is the work area clear of unnecessary personnel and protected from accidental contact with live parts?
4Is the circuit isolated and verified dead before any testing begins?
5Are appropriate PPE (insulated gloves, safety glasses, flame‑resistant clothing) worn and in good condition?
6Is the test instrument (loop impedance tester) calibrated, in good working order and suitable for the voltage class?
7Is a current calibration certificate for the loop impedance tester available and up to date?
8Are test leads and accessories inspected for damage, correct rating and proper insulation?
9Is the test voltage set correctly for the type of circuit under test?
10Is the test performed on a de‑energised circuit with the appropriate test point identified?
11Is the lighting in the test area sufficient to clearly see connections and labels?
12Is the test area free from conductive liquids, debris or other hazards that could cause accidental contact?
13Is signage indicating live testing work displayed at the test location?
14Is the protective earth conductor present, continuous and correctly connected at the test point?
15Are all switches, isolators and protective devices in the correct position for the test?
16Is the measured loop impedance value within the limits specified by BS 7671 Part 6 for the circuit?
17If the measured value exceeds the limit, is a corrective action plan documented and implemented?
18Are arc‑flash hazards assessed and mitigated before any live testing is performed?
19Is a qualified person available to supervise or verify the test results where required?
20Are emergency stop devices and isolation points clearly marked and accessible?
21Is a first‑aid kit and fire extinguisher readily available in the vicinity?
22Is the test record completed, signed and filed in accordance with company procedures?
23After testing, is the circuit re‑energised safely and confirmed fit for service?

Frequently asked questions

Are these safety checklist templates really free to download?

Yes — completely free. Customise any checklist to your workplace and download a professional, print-ready PDF in minutes. No paywall, and no signup required for guests.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
