Risk Assessment Description:

This shower installation safety checklist template assists plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers in confirming that all safety steps are taken before, during and after fitting a new shower.

It covers planning, competence, site conditions, task‑specific hazards, tools and equipment, substances, personal protective equipment, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and final make‑safe checks. It references Building Regulations Part G (Water Services) 2021, the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974, HSE legionella guidance and HSE scalding and burning guidance. The checklist is designed for use on domestic or commercial properties and aligns with the statutory duties of duty‑holders.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑start checks – verify risk assessment, permits and water shut‑off.
  • In‑process checks – confirm safe handling of hot water, tools and fittings.
  • Completion sign‑off – test for leaks, correct temperature and record handover.

Tick Yes, No or N/A for each item; any No response must be addressed before proceeding. The document can be printed, filled in on‑site and stored as part of the project records.

The checklist should be completed on site by the appointed competent person, with any non‑conformities recorded and corrective actions taken before work resumes. It forms part of the project documentation required for Building Control approval and for maintaining compliance with the relevant regulations.

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

Compliant with: Building Regulations Part G (Water Services) 2021; Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974; HSE legionella guidance; HSE scalding and burning guidance.

Can I customise the checklist questions to my workplace?

Yes — fully. Add your own questions, edit or remove any of the pre-written ones, and reorder them to suit your site, task or inspection before you download.

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?

You can build and preview a checklist without an account. To download the PDF you'll need a free account — it takes less than a minute, costs nothing, and also lets you 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?

The exported checklist is a blank, ready-to-use document: print it and tick Yes, No or N/A against each question and write any comments in the notes space, then sign and date it in the sign-off section.

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.
