Risk Assessment Description:

This lead pipe work safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers ensure safe handling of lead pipe and protect workers from lead exposure. It references the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002, the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002 and HSE lead guidance. It is suitable for both new installations and maintenance of existing lead pipe systems.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start preparation and risk assessment before working with lead pipe.
  • During‑work monitoring and control of lead exposure.
  • Post‑work clean‑up, waste handling and record keeping.

To use the checklist, the appointed supervisor or competent operative reviews each question and marks Yes, No or N/A. Any No response triggers immediate corrective action, such as improving ventilation, providing additional PPE, or halting work until the hazard is mitigated. The checklist should be reviewed daily before work begins and updated whenever the work scope changes. Completed checklists should be retained as part of the lead exposure monitoring records and may be inspected by HSE or client auditors.

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

Compliant with: Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002; Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) Regulations 2002; HSE lead guidance.

Integrating this checklist into your health surveillance programme helps demonstrate compliance during HSE inspections and supports record‑keeping for lead exposure monitoring.

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?

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.
