Risk Assessment Description:

This electric shower installation safety checklist from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, electrical installers and supervisors confirm that an electric shower is installed safely and complies with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. It is designed for use before work starts, during installation, and on completion of the job.

The checklist covers all key safety dimensions: planning and documentation, competence and training, safe work environment, specific electrical hazards and controls, equipment and tools, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and final make‑safe verification. It references the required statutory regulations and HSE guidance throughout.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify isolation, risk assessment and competence before any work begins.
  • During‑installation verification – confirm each electrical test and protective device is correctly installed.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – ensure the shower is safe to use and records are complete.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any No answer must be rectified before the shower is commissioned. Record the outcome and any corrective action taken.

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.

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.
