Risk Assessment Description:

This checklist is intended for plumbers, heating engineers, and Gas Safe registered professionals who are carrying out the installation and subsequent cleaning of water storage tanks. It guides you through the essential safety steps to protect workers, the environment, and the public from hazards such as confined‑space entry, chemical exposure, and mechanical risks.

Use this checklist to verify that all planning and permit requirements are satisfied, that competent personnel are allocated, that equipment and tools are safe, that hazardous substances are controlled, that appropriate PPE is worn, and that emergency and rescue arrangements are in place. It also helps you confirm that all documentation is complete and that the site is left in a safe condition.

Use this checklist for:

  • Ensuring safe isolation of water services before work begins.
  • Confirming proper ventilation and chemical control during cleaning.
  • Verifying competent personnel, PPE, and emergency arrangements are in place.

When using this checklist, record a Yes, No or N/A answer for each item directly on the form. Keep the completed checklist on site for the duration of the work and submit it to the site supervisor for review at the end of the task.

The checklist is fully editable and shareable, allowing you to adapt it to site‑specific conditions. Record your answers on‑site, retain the completed form for inspection, and update it as needed for future tank installations or cleaning operations.

Compliant with: COSHH 2002, ACOP L8, and the Confined Spaces Regulations 1997, together with relevant HSE guidance.
