Risk Assessment Description:

This HV authorised person safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, installers and supervisors confirm that high‑voltage work is carried out safely and in line with the relevant legislation.

It covers all key safety dimensions including risk assessment, competence, isolation, personal protective equipment, equipment condition, collective safeguards and emergency arrangements. The checklist references the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, HSE guidance HSG85 and the BS 7671 wiring regulations, ensuring compliance with statutory duties.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑work checks – verify isolation, competence and PPE before any contact with live parts.
  • In‑process inspections – confirm controls remain in place while work is ongoing.
  • Post‑work sign‑off – ensure the system is safely re‑energised and records are completed.

The checklist aligns with the duties set out in the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and follows the HSE’s HSG85 guidance on safe systems of work for high‑voltage activities, helping you to demonstrate due diligence and avoid common causes of electric shock and arc‑flash incidents.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding or the work stopped.

To use the checklist, the authorised person or supervisor ticks Yes, No or N/A for each question. Any No response must be investigated and corrected before work can continue, and the outcome recorded on the site log or electronic system.

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; HSG85; BS 7671.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you 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?

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.
