Risk Assessment Description:

This thermographic survey safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps electricians, electrical installers and inspection engineers conduct safe thermal imaging inspections of electrical installations.

It covers all key safety dimensions including planning, competence, isolation, personal protective equipment, equipment condition, environmental controls, hazardous substances, emergency provisions and post‑survey completion. The checklist aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, HSG85 and the BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑survey checks – confirm risk assessment, permit to work, isolation and equipment readiness before starting.
  • In‑process inspection – verify camera settings, PPE and live‑part safety while surveying.
  • Post‑survey sign‑off – ensure defects are recorded, data secured and equipment stored safely.

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

When using the checklist, record any non‑conformities immediately, stop work if a hazard is identified, and report findings in the survey report. Review the checklist with the team before the next inspection to support continuous improvement.

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

Compliant with: Electricity at Work Regulations 1989; HSG85; BS 7671 Wiring Regulations.

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.
