Risk Assessment Description:

This pressure testing pipework safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers, Gas Safe registered engineers and supervisors confirm that pipework is safely tested before commissioning or repair works. It aligns with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, BS EN 806, and the Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000 together with HSE guidance on pressure testing.

It covers all ten safety dimensions – planning and documentation, competence, work‑area control, task‑specific hazards, equipment and tools, substances, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and post‑test completion. The checklist ensures every critical step is verified before, during and after testing.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑test checks – confirm risk assessments, permits and equipment readiness.
  • In‑process verification – monitor pressures, isolation and PPE during the test.
  • Post‑test sign‑off – record results, depressurise safely and restore services.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding. Record the outcome, take corrective action and retain the completed form for audit.

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; Pressure Systems Safety Regulations 2000.

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?

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.
