Risk Assessment Description:

This temporary power distribution and event electrics safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps lighting, sound and AV crews ensure safe set‑up and operation of temporary electrical systems at concerts, festivals and events.

It covers all essential safety areas including risk assessment, competent personnel, safe isolation, earthing, residual‑current devices, cable ratings, generator checks, distribution board integrity, weather protection and emergency procedures. It references the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and BS 7909 for temporary electrical installations.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑event inspections — verify the temporary power system is safe before the show starts.
  • During‑event monitoring — spot‑check key items while the system is in use.
  • Post‑event de‑commissioning — ensure safe isolation, storage and record‑keeping.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A — any No answer must be resolved before work continues or the system is re‑energised.

Use the checklist by ticking Yes, No or N/A for each question, recording any No responses and taking corrective action before the system is re‑energised or the event proceeds. The checklist supports continuous safety monitoring throughout the event lifecycle.

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

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; BS 7909.

What format do the safety checklists download in?

Checklists download as a professional PDF, ready to print and complete on-site — each question has clear Yes / No / N/A tick-boxes and a comments space. You choose portrait or landscape at download. Word and spreadsheet formats are being added.

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?

Yes — add your company logo, colours and details on Standard and Pro plans, so the exported checklist carries your own branding. Guests and Free downloads carry Health & Safety Zone branding.

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.
