Risk Assessment Description:

This electric heating installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, electrical installers and supervisors ensure safe installation of storage heaters and under‑floor heating circuits.

It covers all essential checks including planning, competence, isolation, circuit testing, protective devices, PPE and emergency measures, referencing the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The checklist aligns with HSE guidance such as HSG47 for avoiding dangers from electricity.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm risk assessments, competence and safe work environment.
  • In‑process verification – test earthing, insulation resistance, protective devices and correct wiring.
  • Final sign‑off – record completion, issue test certificates and ensure fire safety.

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

When using this checklist, tick Yes for compliant items, No for non‑compliant items and note corrective actions. Record any deviations in the installation register and ensure they are resolved before the circuit is commissioned.

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); Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; HSG47.

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?

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.
