Risk Assessment Description:

This electrical installation initial verification safety checklist assists electricians, installers and test & inspection engineers in confirming that a new electrical installation is safe, compliant and ready for commissioning.

It aligns with the requirements set out in BS 7671 Part 6, GS38 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, covering risk assessment, safe isolation, test procedures, personal protective equipment and emergency provisions. The checklist also ensures that test equipment is fit for purpose and that all protective devices are correctly selected and installed in line with the Wiring Regulations.

The checklist addresses specific electrical hazards such as shock, arc‑flash and burns by requiring verification of isolation, earthing, protective device testing and the use of insulated PPE. It incorporates the recommended test sequence from HSE guidance – visual inspection, continuity, insulation resistance, earth fault loop impedance and residual‑current device testing – and confirms that all measurements meet the limits in BS 7671.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start verification of a new installation before energising.
  • In‑process inspection during testing and commissioning.
  • Final sign‑off and record‑keeping after completion.

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

It can be used on‑site or in the office to record verification steps, provide evidence of compliance and support the statutory inspection report required under the Electricity at Work Regulations.

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

3Is a method statement or isolation permit in place for the verification work?
4Is the work area clear of unnecessary items and suitable for safe work?
5Is the supply isolated and verified dead (voltage tested) before work begins?
6Is the isolation verified using an approved method (e.g., lock‑off and test)?

12Are all circuit protective devices (MCBs, RCDs, fuses) correctly rated and installed?
13Is the residual current device (RCD) test performed and result within limits?
14Is the insulation resistance of circuits measured and does it meet the minimum values of BS 7671?
15Is the earth fault loop impedance measured where required and within acceptable limits?
16Are any live parts protected from accidental contact (e.g., covers, barriers) as required by GS38?
17Is the work area adequately illuminated and free of water or conductive contaminants?
18Are emergency shut‑off switches clearly identified and accessible?
19Are fire extinguishers suitable for electrical fires (type CO₂ or dry powder) present and inspected?
20Is a suitable first aid kit readily available in the work area?
21Is a competent person available to supervise the verification?
22Is a written record of test results completed and signed by the responsible electrician?

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.
