Risk Assessment Description:

This soldering and brazing safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers ensure hot‑work on pipework is carried out safely and in compliance with legislation.

It covers all key safety dimensions for hot work, including planning, competence, environment, equipment checks, hazardous substances, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency provisions and post‑work completion. The checklist references the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002 alongside HSE hot‑work guidance.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑work hot‑work permit and risk assessment verification.
  • On‑site inspection of equipment, environment and PPE during soldering or brazing.
  • Post‑work sign‑off and record keeping.

By ticking Yes, No or N/A for each item you confirm that controls are in place. Any No response must be addressed immediately and corrective actions recorded before work can continue or the area can be cleared.

Following this checklist helps meet legal duties under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 and the Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002, and supports best practice guidance from HSE on hot‑work safety.

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

Compliant with: Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005; Dangerous Substances and Explosive Atmospheres Regulations 2002.

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?

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.
