Risk Assessment Description:

This soil and vent pipe installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers confirm that all safety and compliance steps are completed before, during and after installing soil and vent pipe systems.

It covers the essential checks across planning, competence, site conditions, pipe handling, testing, PPE and emergency arrangements, and references the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and Building Regulations Part H as the governing standards.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify risk assessments, permits and site readiness.
  • During‑installation checks – confirm correct handling, PPE, pipe positioning and testing.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – ensure leak testing, waste removal and record keeping.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be addressed before work proceeds or the task is completed.

Use the checklist on site by marking each question with Yes, No or N/A. Resolve any No answers immediately and retain the completed checklist as evidence for auditors and building control.

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

Compliant with: Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974; Building Regulations Part H; Gas Safety (Installation and Use) Regulations 1998.

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.
