Risk Assessment Description:

This mains water connection safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and qualified supervisors ensure safe installation and connection to the water supply.

It covers risk assessment, competency, site conditions, equipment checks, contamination control, PPE and emergency procedures, referencing the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and BS EN 806 alongside HSE guidance and the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑connection checks – verify isolation, permits and competence before work starts.
  • In‑process inspections – confirm each step is carried out safely and correctly.
  • Post‑connection sign‑off – record testing, flushing and make‑safe actions.

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

Complete the checklist on site prior to starting any connection work; any “No” answer must be addressed before proceeding. This ensures compliance with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999 and BS EN 806, protecting public health and preventing contamination.

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

Compliant with: Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999; BS EN 806; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974; Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

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?

Can I add my company logo and branding to the checklist?

How do I complete the checklist once it is downloaded?

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.
