### Electrical Safety Inspection Checklist Template

Keeping your workplace electrically safe isn't just about compliance—it's about protecting your team from serious injury and keeping operations running smoothly. This **Electrical Safety Inspection Checklist** template helps safety officers, facility managers, electricians, and maintenance teams conduct thorough electrical inspections with confidence and consistency.

#### Why electrical safety inspections matter

Electrical hazards are among the leading causes of workplace injuries and fatalities. From arc flash incidents to electrical fires, the risks are real—but they're also preventable. Regular electrical safety inspections help you identify problems before they become emergencies, ensure OSHA and NFPA compliance, and create a culture where safety comes first.

This template walks inspectors through the critical areas every electrical safety audit should cover: panel clearance verification, grounding system integrity, extension cord compliance, proper arc flash labeling, and lockout/tagout procedure verification.

#### What this template covers

**Panel Clearance Verification**: Confirm that electrical panels maintain the required 36-inch clearance zone, are properly labeled, and remain accessible during emergencies.

**Grounding System Testing**: Inspect and document the condition of grounding connections, bonding jumpers, and ground fault protection to ensure safe electrical pathways.

**Extension Cord Compliance**: Check that extension cords are used appropriately, aren't daisy-chained, have proper strain relief, and show no signs of damage or wear.

**Arc Flash Labeling**: Verify that electrical equipment has current arc flash warning labels showing incident energy levels, required PPE, and safe working distances.

**Lockout/Tagout Procedures**: Assess whether proper LOTO procedures are in place, devices are available and functioning, and workers understand energy isolation protocols.

#### Who should use this template

This electrical safety inspection checklist is designed for:

 - **Safety officers and managers** conducting routine facility inspections
 - **Electricians and electrical contractors** performing compliance audits
 - **Facility and maintenance managers** responsible for workplace safety
 - **Manufacturing and industrial operations** with high-voltage equipment
 - **Property managers** overseeing commercial buildings
 - **Construction site supervisors** managing temporary electrical installations

#### Built for real-world inspections

The template uses checkbox fields for quick pass/fail assessments, text fields for detailed notes and corrective actions, and photo upload capabilities so inspectors can document hazards on the spot. Conditional logic ensures inspectors are prompted to provide additional information when issues are identified, creating a complete record of both compliant areas and items requiring follow-up.

#### Streamline your safety program with Paperform

With Paperform, your electrical safety inspections become faster, more consistent, and easier to track. Inspectors can complete checklists on mobile devices while in the field, instantly capturing photos and GPS data. Submissions automatically flow into your safety management system via integrations with tools like Google Sheets, Airtable, or your existing safety software.

Use **Stepper** (stepper.io) to automate what happens after each inspection—automatically route critical findings to maintenance teams, send summary reports to safety managers, schedule follow-up inspections, or create work orders in your CMMS system. This means issues get addressed faster, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Generate instant PDF reports for each inspection with all photos, notes, and compliance status included. These records become your audit trail for OSHA visits, insurance reviews, and internal safety audits.

#### Make electrical safety consistent and compliant

Whether you're managing a single facility or overseeing dozens of locations, this template helps you maintain consistent electrical safety standards across your organization. Customize the checklist to match your specific equipment, add your company branding, and tailor inspection criteria to your industry requirements.
