Risk Assessment Description:

This tower lighting set pre-use safety checklist template from Health & Safety Zone helps site supervisors and operatives confirm that a mobile tower lighting set is safe, stable and electrically sound before use on construction sites.

It covers all key safety dimensions including risk assessment and planning, operator competence, site and weather conditions, detailed equipment checks of the mast, wind rating, tyres, engine, fuel, lighting output, cable protection and control systems, as well as PPE, exclusion zones, emergency provisions and post‑use make‑safe steps. The checklist aligns with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 and HSE guidance on mobile towers and electrical plant. The checklist is designed to meet the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and supports the creation of safe systems of work for mobile lighting equipment.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspections – verify the tower lighting set and environment are safe before each shift.
  • Site safety audits – confirm ongoing compliance during the project.
  • Hand‑over sign‑off – document that the equipment has been made safe after use.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before the tower lighting set is operated.

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; Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998.

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?
