Risk Assessment Description:

This hot water system installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers ensure a safe and compliant installation of domestic or commercial hot water systems.

It covers all key safety dimensions – planning, competence, work environment, task‑specific hazards, plant and equipment, substances, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency arrangements and completion – and references the relevant legislation and guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – confirm design, risk assessment and competence before work begins.
  • During‑installation checks – verify safe work practices, gas and water connections, and control of legionella risk.
  • Post‑installation verification – ensure the system is tested, commissioned and documented correctly.

The checklist aligns with Building Regulations Part G, the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, the Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998 and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. It should be consulted at every stage of the installation to confirm compliance and safety.

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

Compliant with: Building Regulations Part G; Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999; Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
