Risk Assessment Description:

This vehicle battery charger safety checklist template is designed for motor trade workshops, dealerships, body shops, tyre/MOT bays and recovery yards. It helps technicians and mechanics confirm that charging equipment is safe to use before, during and after each charge.

The checklist covers authorisation, competence, the work environment, task‑specific hazards such as hydrogen gas and electric shock, detailed equipment condition checks, PPE, collective safety measures, emergency provisions and make‑safe steps. It also references the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and HSE guidance for motor vehicle repair (HSG261).

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑use inspection of the charger before starting a charge.
  • In‑process checks while the charger is operating.
  • Post‑use make‑safe and storage verification.

The checklist can be printed or accessed on a tablet and completed by the technician at the start of each charging session. Completed records should be filed with equipment maintenance logs.

Answer each item Yes, No or N/A; any No response must be addressed before work continues or before the charger is returned to service.

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; HSG261 – Health and safety in motor vehicle repair and associated industries.
