Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist supports plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers in safely preparing, cutting and threading metal or plastic pipes on site.

Use this checklist for:

  • Assessing risks before starting pipe cutting and threading work.
  • Ensuring appropriate tools, equipment and personal protective equipment are used.
  • Controlling dust, fumes, waste and fire hazards.
  • Verifying competence and documentation for the task.

How to use: Review each question before work begins, record a Yes, No or N/A answer, and address any items marked No. Keep the completed checklist on site for inspection and retain it as part of your safety documentation.

Environmental considerations: ensure dust and debris are contained, collect waste in suitable containers, and dispose of according to Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (COSHH). Keep the surrounding area free from contamination and protect nearby utilities. Maintain site cleanliness to prevent environmental impact.

Maintain a written record of the completed checklist on site for the duration of the work and retain it for at least one year, as required by Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER) and HSE guidance, to demonstrate compliance and support any future audits.

Compliant with: Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER), Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 and HSE Guidance HSG47: Safe Use of Hand and Power Tools. All steps are fully editable and shareable.
