Risk Assessment Description:

This gas tightness testing safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps Gas Safe registered engineers and plumbing supervisors ensure a gas system is leak‑free before commissioning or after repair.

It covers all essential checks including risk assessment, competence, isolation, test equipment condition, PPE, ventilation, emergency arrangements and record keeping. It references the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and HSE Gas Safety Guidance. The checklist follows the ten‑dimension safety framework, ensuring planning, people, plant, substances, personal protective equipment, collective measures, emergency provisions and completion steps are all addressed.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑test preparation – confirm risk assessment, competence and isolation.
  • During the test – verify equipment, detection method and environment.
  • Post‑test sign‑off – record results and make the area safe.

To use the checklist, the responsible engineer completes each item before, during and after the test, marking Yes, No or N/A. Any No response must be investigated and corrected before proceeding. The completed record should be retained as part of the gas safety documentation.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the gas system is put into service.

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.

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?

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.
