Risk Assessment Description:

This extractor fan installation safety checklist template helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe electrical work when installing a fan.

It covers all key areas including planning, competence, site conditions, electrical isolation, testing, protective equipment and emergency arrangements, referencing the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The checklist follows the ten‑dimension framework, ensuring that risk assessments, method statements and permits are verified, that only trained personnel carry out the work, that the environment is free from hazards, that the electrical plant is correctly installed and tested, that appropriate PPE is used, and that emergency provisions are in place.

Use this checklist by ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item as you progress through the installation. Any No response must be corrected before moving to the next stage. Record test results and sign‑off details on site, then retain the completed form as evidence of compliance with statutory requirements.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm risk assessment, isolation and equipment readiness.
  • Installation verification – ensure wiring, earthing and protective devices are correct.
  • Final testing and hand‑over – verify performance and record results.

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

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.

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.

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.
