Risk Assessment Description:

This gas meter and emergency control valve safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps Gas Safe registered engineers, plumbers and heating contractors ensure safe installation, maintenance and inspection of domestic and commercial gas meters and associated emergency control valves.

It covers all key safety dimensions including risk assessment and competence, work environment, specific hazards of gas, equipment checks, substance controls, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and post‑task make‑safe actions. It aligns with the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and HSE gas safety guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use checks – confirm the meter and valve are fit for service before work begins.
  • In‑process inspections – verify safe conditions during maintenance or replacement.
  • Completion sign‑off – ensure the installation is safe and compliant before handing over.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work proceeds or the site is re‑opened.

Use the checklist on site with a tablet or printed copy; record any non‑conformities and take corrective action immediately to maintain gas safety and compliance.

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

Compliant with: Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998; HSE gas safety guidance.

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.
