Risk Assessment Description:

This gas appliance ventilation safety checklist template is designed for plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered professionals to confirm that ventilation for gas appliances meets legal and manufacturer requirements before commissioning.

The checklist aligns with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and BS 5440 standards, incorporating HSE guidance on safe installation, flue sizing, gas pressure control and carbon‑monoxide risk mitigation.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use ventilation verification prior to putting a new or serviced gas appliance into operation.
  • Routine site inspections to ensure ongoing compliance with ventilation and gas safety requirements.
  • Documented evidence of compliance for client hand‑over, audits or regulatory inspections.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No response must be resolved before the appliance is operated, and records should be retained for the required period.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to suit your specific installation and download as a PDF.

This checklist can be printed or integrated into digital safety systems for easy on‑site reference.

Use the checklist on site before work starts, recording answers and retaining the completed form as part of the gas safety documentation required by the Regulations.

Regular re‑verification ensures continued compliance, especially after modifications or when the appliance is relocated.

Compliant with: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998; BS 5440.
