Risk Assessment Description:

This gas water heater installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone supports Gas Safe registered engineers and plumbing supervisors in delivering a safe, compliant installation of gas water heaters, protecting both workers and building occupants.

The checklist is built around the requirements of the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the HSE guidance document HSG 236 – Gas safety – installation and use, and aligns with Building Regulations Part G for gas safety. It ensures that all statutory duties, risk assessments and competence checks are carried out before work begins, and that the installation is verified before commissioning.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify risk assessments, permits and competence before work starts.
  • Installation and commissioning – confirm correct pipework, connections, ventilation and leak testing.
  • Post‑installation verification – record certification, handover and safe completion.

How to use the checklist: answer Yes, No or N/A for each item. Any No response must be resolved before the appliance is commissioned. Record the results and retain them for inspection or audit.

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; HSG 236 – Gas safety – installation and use; Building Regulations Part G.

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?

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.
