Risk Assessment Description:

This Gym and Wet Areas Electrical Safety Checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps facilities and maintenance staff verify that all electrical installations and equipment in gyms, changing rooms, showers and pool areas are safe and compliant before use.

It covers the full range of safety dimensions for electrical work in wet environments, including risk assessment and planning, competence of staff, safe condition of plant and equipment, appropriate personal protective equipment, emergency provisions, and the safe handling and storage of cleaning chemicals near electrical assets. The checklist aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and HSE guidance HSG179 for swimming‑pool and wet‑area electrical safety.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections — confirm electrical safety before each operating period.
  • Routine audits — spot‑check compliance during scheduled maintenance.
  • Incident investigations — verify that electrical controls were in place when an event occurred.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the area is used. Record responses, investigate any non‑conformities and take corrective action promptly.

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

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

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.
