Risk Assessment Description:

This electrical maintenance safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe isolation, testing and work on electrical systems before, during and after maintenance tasks.

It covers key areas including planning, competence, safe work environment, isolation procedures, PPE, testing, arc‑flash protection, emergency measures and final sign‑off, referencing the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, HSE guidance HSG85 and the BS 7671 wiring regulations.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑maintenance checks — confirm risk assessment, isolation and PPE are in place.
  • During‑maintenance monitoring — verify testing, guarding and safe work practices.
  • Post‑maintenance sign‑off — ensure equipment is reinstated safely and records are completed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No answer must be resolved before proceeding or the task re‑started.

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

How to use: before starting work, review the checklist and confirm each Yes response. If a No is recorded, stop work, implement corrective action and reassess before continuing. After the job, complete the post‑maintenance section and retain the record for audit and future inspections.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; HSG85; BS 7671.

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.
