FAQs 

What is an electrical risk assessment?

A risk assessment is a thorough examination of all the potential risks you’ll face during a job. An electrical risk assessment focuses purely on the electrical risks, like fire or electrocution.  

Can the risk assessment template be used for all kinds of electrical work?

Yes – this template can be used for any electrical task you’re undertaking, whether that’s installation, disconnection, or general works.

How often should I carry out an electrical risk assessment?

We recommend you complete a risk assessment for each new task to make sure you’re aware of any and all risks. Each project comes with a different set of risks, so you need to be aware of them all.

Who is responsible for carrying out an electrical risk assessment?

The employers, business owners, or duty holders in charge of the area where work is being done are legally responsible for the risk assessment. But electrical risk assessments should be carried out alongside a qualified electrical engineer who is knowledgeable of the subject and any hidden risks that may appear.  

How often do I need to review a risk assessment carried out with this template?

We recommend reviewing your risk assessment whenever a job changes. But if you are completing routine work frequently (i.e. the same task over an extended period of time) then we recommend reviewing and updating your assessment every couple of months.

Do I need an electrical method statement to go alongside this document?

Method statements aren’t a legal requirement, but they can be incredibly useful for higher-risk projects, e.g. working around transformers, or in public. These are built on the back of your risk assessment and detail the process you’ll be taking to complete a task successfully.
