Risk Assessment Description:

This sump and sewage pump installation safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered engineers confirm that a new pump is installed safely and in compliance with legislation.

It covers planning, competence, site conditions, hazardous substances, equipment checks, personal protective equipment, collective safeguards, emergency arrangements and final sign‑off. The checklist aligns with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 for hazardous substances and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997 for work in enclosed pits.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑installation checks – verify risk assessments, permits and safe site conditions.
  • During‑installation monitoring – ensure equipment, PPE and collective measures are in place.
  • Post‑installation sign‑off – confirm testing, clean‑up and documentation.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before work proceeds or before the pump is commissioned.

To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each question as the work progresses, record any No answers, take corrective action and ensure the final sign‑off is completed before the pump is commissioned.

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

Compliant with: Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002; Confined Spaces Regulations 1997.

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?

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.

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.
