Risk Assessment Description:

This rainwater and guttering installation safety checklist template assists plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers in carrying out installations safely and in compliance with statutory requirements.

It provides a series of closed‑question checks covering planning, competence, site conditions, tools and equipment, manual handling, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures and emergency provisions. The checklist aligns with the Work at Height Regulations 2005 and HSE guidance INDG401 – Working at Height, ensuring that work at height is managed safely and that all relevant duties are met.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks before any work begins
  • Site inspections during the installation
  • Final sign‑off after the work is completed

Each question is answered Yes, No or N/A. Any “No” response must be resolved before proceeding, and the outcome should be recorded on site as part of the daily safety documentation.

The supervisor uses the checklist to verify that risk assessments are in place, that competent personnel are present, that suitable fall protection is provided and that all tools and materials comply with COSHH and PUWER requirements. It also prompts the creation of exclusion zones, the provision of fire safety equipment and the safe removal of waste.

Applying this checklist helps meet PUWER 1998 and COSHH 2002 obligations, ensuring plant is safe to use and hazardous substances are controlled. It also facilitates audit trails and demonstrates compliance during inspections.

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

Compliant with: Work at Height Regulations 2005; INDG401 – Working at Height.
