Risk Assessment Description:

This gas pipework installation safety checklist template supports Gas Safe registered engineers, plumbers and heating contractors to verify that every stage of a gas pipework installation is safe, compliant and fit for purpose before the system is commissioned.

It addresses key areas such as competence, planning, work environment, pipe selection, joint preparation, support spacing, leak testing, PPE and emergency arrangements. The checklist references the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and BS 6891, and aligns with current HSE guidance on safe gas installations.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm planning, competence and site conditions before work begins.
  • In‑process inspections – verify pipework, joints and testing are performed correctly.
  • Final sign‑off – ensure documentation, testing and safety measures are complete before the system is put into service.Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the gas service is commissioned. The completed checklist should be retained as part of the installation record for future inspections and regulatory audits.

    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; BS 6891.
