Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist provides a practical, step‑by‑step guide for plumbers, heating engineers and Gas Safe registered technicians to safely install water softener systems in both residential and commercial premises.

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring the water supply is isolated and depressurised before work begins
  • Verifying that all permits, approvals and risk assessments are in place
  • Confirming the correct use of personal protective equipment and safe handling of chemicals
  • Inspecting tools, equipment and fittings for suitability and condition
  • Carrying out the installation, testing and commissioning procedures

The checklist also covers environmental considerations, including proper disposal of waste water and chemicals, and confirms that installations meet relevant energy efficiency standards where applicable.

How to use: review each question before and after the relevant task, answer Yes, No or N/A, and record any observations or corrective actions directly on the checklist. This ensures consistent compliance and provides a clear audit trail for client handover.

Maintain a record of all test results, certifications and client acknowledgements to demonstrate compliance and support future maintenance activities.

Compliant with: Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, BS EN 806 and HSE guidance on plumbing safety.

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

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.
