Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist assists maintenance and facilities staff in carrying out a thorough PAT and electrical safety inspection of gym equipment such as treadmills, exercise bikes, rowing machines, strength‑training consoles and other electrically powered fitness devices. It ensures that each item is safe to operate, complies with legal duties and reduces the risk of electric shock or fire in busy leisure environments.

Use this checklist for:

  • Commercial gyms and fitness centres
  • Swimming pool and leisure‑facility fitness areas
  • Sports clubs with electrically powered training equipment

The checklist guides you through verifying test‑label currency, plug and lead condition, RCD protection in wet zones, equipment grounding, visible damage and safe isolation before and after use. It also covers record‑keeping, competency checks and the need for regular visual inspections in line with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. Additional focus is placed on PAT procedures and overall electrical safety.

Fully editable and shareable – the checklist can be customised for each make and model, exported to PDF or printed for on‑site use.

To use this checklist, complete each question before the equipment is put into service each day, record any non‑conformities, take corrective action, and sign off the record. Keep the completed checklists on site for the period required by the Electricity at Work Regulations and for audit purposes. The systematic approach supports a safe environment for users and staff and demonstrates due diligence under health‑and‑safety law.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989

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.
