Risk Assessment Description:

This temporary site lighting safety checklist template helps construction site managers and operatives verify that all temporary lighting installations are safe, adequately illuminated and compliant with relevant legislation before work commences.

It covers the essential safety dimensions required for temporary electrical installations on construction sites, including the completion of a risk assessment and method statement, verification of competent personnel and supervision, assessment of ground conditions and weather, checking illumination levels, glare and flicker, secure fixing of fixtures, protection and routing of cables, testing of residual‑current devices (RCDs), and the provision of emergency lighting and first‑aid resources. The checklist also ensures that personal protective equipment is worn, exclusion zones are marked, and that all equipment is isolated, switched off and made safe after use.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – confirm lighting design, installation and safety measures before work starts.
  • Regular site inspections – maintain compliance throughout the construction phase.
  • Completion hand‑over – verify removal of lighting, safe storage of cables and final record keeping.

Fully editable and shareable – customise the questions to suit your project, download as a PDF and distribute to your team.

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 (PUWER); HSE guidance on planning and managing temporary electrical installations.

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.
