Use this template to perform a home electrical safety inspection focused on overcurrent protection. Check main service and panel condition, correct breaker and wire sizing, AFCI and GFCI protection, surge protection, wiring types and grounding, outlet and switch integrity, lighting, and grounding and bonding for water and gas lines. Record amperage, brands, defects, and notes, and capture corrective actions to reduce risk of overheating, shock, and fire.

Safety Inspection Report
This Safety Inspection Report template helps electricians and site managers evaluate electrical safety across main service, panels, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection, smoke and CO detectors, surge protection, and outside wiring. Capture observations on breaker condition, corrosion, wire sizing, bonding, and temperature, and verify code-critical items such as grounded outlets and GFCI coverage in kitchens, baths, and exterior areas. Record issues, assign corrective actions, and keep a clear audit trail for compliance on residential or job-site inspections.

Residential Electrical Inspection Checklist 2024
Use this residential electrical inspection checklist to evaluate exterior and interior systems in homes. Verify service entrance clearance and weatherhead condition, meter base mounting and grounding, service panel labeling, cover, and signs of overheating, plus bonding and grounding. Check grounding electrodes and conductors, including metal water and gas pipe bonding. Inside, inspect wiring support and protection; test outlets and switches; confirm correct lighting fixtures and bulb ratings; test GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, and outdoors; verify appliance grounding and cords; and check smoke alarm placement and operation. Capture photos, document findings and permits, and note recommendations to improve safety and code compliance. Record inspector signature and final compliance status.

Home Safety Checklist
Use this home safety checklist to assess residential hazards across electrical systems, smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, grounding, surge protection, and GFCI and AFCI coverage. Verify kitchen and laundry receptacles, lighting and security lighting, exhaust fans, HVAC power, and outdoor areas including pool and spa circuits. Capture photos and notes, create corrective actions with assignees, priorities, and due dates, and complete with digital signatures. Export findings as a shareable report to reduce risk and ensure safer homes.

Quality Control Checklist
This Quality Control Checklist helps teams conduct thorough inspections on construction sites with a focus on electrical systems. It covers site readiness, equipment condition, accurate drawings, proper wiring methods, approved materials, working clearances, illumination, access and egress, and proper labeling. The checklist also verifies arc flash stickers, panel schedules, SCCR ratings, secure mounting and ventilation, closure of unused openings, conductor labeling and protection, proper terminations with documented torque, breaker testing and settings, insulation checks, overcurrent protection, grounding and bonding, raceway and cable support, low voltage conduit details, equipment grounding, penetration sealing, conductor fill, above-ceiling clearances and cable management, device labeling and mounting, required GFCI protection, functional testing of emergency systems, and final energization checks. Use it to streamline inspections, ensure compliance, and document issues.
