Risk Assessment Description:

This UPS system maintenance safety checklist template from a leading health and safety resource helps electricians, installers and supervisors confirm that all essential safety steps are taken when servicing or maintaining an uninterruptible power supply.

It covers risk assessment, competent personnel, safe isolation, battery handling, test procedures, personal protective equipment and emergency arrangements, ensuring compliance with the BS 7671 and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989. The checklist follows the ten‑dimension safety framework for electrical work and addresses hazards such as arc‑flash, battery gas release and live‑part exposure.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑maintenance checks – verify risk assessment, isolation and PPE before work starts.
  • During maintenance – confirm safe work practices, equipment condition and test steps.
  • Post‑maintenance sign‑off – record results, restore power and complete documentation.

Each item is answered Yes, No or N/A – any No answer must be resolved before proceeding to the next step.

When using the checklist, record the response for each question on the maintenance log. Any item marked No should trigger immediate corrective action or stop work until the hazard is mitigated, providing clear evidence of compliance for audits.

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

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

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?

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.
