Risk Assessment Description:

This wall chasing and cable routing safety checklist template helps electricians, installers and supervisors ensure safe execution of wall work and electrical cable installation before work commences.

It covers all key safety dimensions for electrical work in walls, including a thorough risk assessment, safe isolation and lock‑off/tag‑out procedures, competence verification, appropriate personal protective equipment, dust control, tool and equipment inspection, correct cable handling and routing, and verification testing. The checklist aligns with the BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations) and the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, and reflects current HSE guidance on electrical safety, ensuring that both statutory requirements and best practice are met.

Use this checklist for:

  • Pre‑work checks – confirm isolation, permits, risk assessment and safe environment.
  • During work – monitor PPE, tool condition, dust control and cable handling.
  • Post‑work sign‑off – test installations, clean the area and record results.To use the checklist, tick Yes, No or N/A for each item as the work progresses. Any “No” response must be addressed immediately before continuing. Record corrective actions where required and retain the completed checklist as evidence of compliance.

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

    Compliant with: BS 7671 (IET Wiring Regulations); Electricity at Work Regulations 1989.
