This electrical tool inspection checklist is free and customisable for you.

Electrical tools have become incredibly important to almost all companies and workers in 'the industries' including construction, oil and gas, mining, manufacturing and more.

The hundreds of electrical tools available to these companies and workers enable them to do previously laborious and time-consuming tasks quickly, as well as perform previously impossible tasks.

While electrical tools carry with them a number of benefits, they also come with some downsides too. Many of the tools feature a number of inherent hazards, and all of the tools need to be properly used, inspected and maintained in order for them to keep functioning safely.

One of the 'tools' which companies use to ensure that their electrical tools are being used and maintained properly is an electrical tool inspection checklist.

This checklist (like the example you see to the right), guides an inspector or tool operator through a series of relatively straightforward checks including:

• Basic hazard identification
• Electrical tool selection
• Inspection and work practices
• PPE checks
• The actual electrical tool inspection
• Digital sign off

Together, these sections combine to create a comprehensive yet easy-to-conduct inspection which drastically reduces the chance of a tool mishap, incident, or unforeseen tool failure.

You can use this checklist template as is, or customise it to suit specific electrical tools or equipment.
