Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is intended for electricians, electrical installers, test & inspection engineers and supervisors undertaking lighting installation or replacement work on any type of premises.

Use this checklist for:

  • Installing new lighting fixtures
  • Replacing existing lighting units
  • Wiring and re‑wiring lighting circuits

It ensures compliance with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations), the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. The checklist guides you through safe isolation, verification, PPE, risk assessment for arc‑flash, tool suitability, testing sequence and final certification, helping to protect personnel from electric shock, burns and arc‑flash, and to meet legal requirements.

The checklist also addresses the need for proper documentation of test results, verification of protective device settings, and confirmation that all work complies with the latest edition of the IET Wiring Regulations. Following these steps helps prevent future faults and ensures safe operation.

How to use: complete each question before proceeding to the next step of the installation. Record a Yes, No or N/A answer and provide brief comments where required. A qualified person must sign off the checklist before the circuit is re‑energised.

Compliant with: BS 7671, Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. Fully editable and shareable.
