What is it?

Live electrics, temporary site power, portable tools, damp environments — the electrical risks on construction sites are real and unforgiving. The Electrical Safety On Site Template gives you a ready-to-deliver toolbox talk + safe-use guide that covers site power set-up, RCDs, 110V systems, cable management, lockout/tagout, PAT, and emergency actions — in plain English your crew will actually follow.

Built for small builders, sole traders and principal contractors who want to brief fast, work safer, and prove they’ve done it.

⚠️ Note: Supports compliance with the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and good practice under BS 7671 for temporary supplies, but does not replace formal electrical competency or inspection/testing by a qualified person.

Why You Need It:

1️⃣ Prevent Shocks, Burns & Fires Clear rules for 110V centre-tapped to earth (CTE) use, 30 mA RCD protection, and safe tool selection — especially in wet/outdoor areas.
2️⃣ Stop “Trip-and-Rip” Incidents Practical cable routing, protection from traffic/plant, and inspection before use to prevent damaged leads, overloaded reels, and nuisance tripping that halts the job.
3️⃣ Make Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) Routine Simple steps for isolation, lock and tag, prove dead, and controlled re-energisation — so no one works live by accident.
4️⃣ Evidence Your Duty of Care Includes a briefing sign-off sheet, PAT/inspection prompts, and version control to show clients, auditors and insurers that controls are in place and communicated.
5️⃣ Built for Real Sites From temporary site boards and generators to second-fix works — use it for inductions, refreshers, or pre-task briefs across trades.

What You Get:

✅ Fully editable Word document (DOCX)
✅ Toolbox Talk script (site power set-up, RCDs, 110V, generators, extension leads)
✅ Safe-Use checklist (inspect, connect, use, maintain, store)
✅ LOTO quick guide (isolate → lock → tag → test → work → re-energise)
✅ PAT & visual inspection prompts (what to check, defect examples)
✅ Do/Don’t one-pager (no DIY repairs, no daisy-chaining, no damaged plugs)
✅ Emergency response (shock/burns: isolate power, call 999, first aid, report)
✅ Cable management tips (ramps/guards, overhead routing, IP-rated equipment)
✅ RCD & protection notes (test before use, 30 mA, test button routine)
✅ Action log (defects found, kit removed from service, follow-ups)
✅ Attendance register & signature sheet
✅ Spaces for your logo, project details & date
