Keep Your Workplace Safe with an Electrical Safety Report Template


An electrical safety report template is a document used to record and report the findings of an electrical safety inspection. Such inspections are often required by law in order to ensure that all electrical systems and components in a given area are up to code and do not pose a safety risk to users. The template typically includes sections for identifying any electrical hazards, noting any necessary repairs or maintenance, and providing a list of recommended safety measures.


The electrical safety report template can also include photos, diagrams, and other documents to support the findings. By utilizing an electrical safety report template, businesses and organizations can ensure that their electrical systems and components comply with the relevant regulations and remain safe for use.


Overall an electrical safety audit is meant to assess the functionality of the following electrical components:

  • • Mains, switchboards, sub-boards, earthing
  • • Cables and conduits
  • • Appliances, fittings, accessories, and equipment
