Risk Assessment Description:

This first fix electrical wiring safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe installation of wiring before it is concealed, complying with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

It covers all key areas required for safe first‑fix work – planning and risk assessment, competence, safe work environment, isolation, PPE, correct cable selection, proper use of tools and test equipment, protective devices and emergency provisions. The checklist reflects the requirements of the BS 7671 and the statutory duties under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start verification – confirm isolation, competence and equipment readiness.
  • On‑site inspections – tick off each safety point while the wiring is installed.
  • Completion sign‑off – record that all checks have been satisfied before the work is concealed.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding to the next stage of the installation.

The checklist should be completed by the appointed electrician prior to concealing any cables, and any identified non‑conformities must be corrected and re‑checked to maintain compliance.

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.

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.

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
