Risk Assessment Description:

This industrial electrical installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe execution of electrical works in industrial settings.

It covers all key safety dimensions required by the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, including risk assessment, isolation, PPE, testing, and emergency preparedness.

The checklist addresses the ten‑dimension safety framework: planning and permits, competence and training, work environment, plant and equipment condition, hazardous substances, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency arrangements, and final make‑safe procedures, ensuring comprehensive compliance with the relevant regulations.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – confirm that the installation area, equipment and personnel are ready before work begins.
  • In‑process verification – monitor ongoing safety controls while work is underway.
  • Completion sign‑off – record that all tests are passed and the site is left safe.

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be investigated and corrected before work proceeds or before the installation is commissioned. Record findings on site and retain the completed checklist for audit and inspection purposes.

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

Compliant with: BS 7671; Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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.
