Electrical Cords and Shock Abatement Audit

by Dustin Steinhorst, from the Community

Use this Electrical Cords and Electrical Shock Abatement Audit to assess cord placement across walkways, insulation condition, grounding conductors, and proper cord gauge. Verify panel access and labeling, equipment guarding, voltage markings, and the condition of disconnects. Capture photos of areas for improvement and best practices, record employee responses, and confirm compliance with your facility's electrical safety standards.

Electrical Shock Incident Report
Use this Electrical Shock Incident Report to document and investigate electrical shock events. Capture date and time, job and work order numbers, location, and the person affected. Record whether medical attention was advised, how the shock occurred, faults or defects identified, remedial actions taken, and any further works required. Note if Western Power was notified and include a reference number. A companion Shock Incident Test Report sheet lets you log supply voltage at the switchboard, confirm MEN link, measure earth resistance, voltage to independent earth, and point-of-shock voltage. Verify RCD protection and socket polarity, and perform line impedance, RCD trip time, insulation resistance, and fault loop tests. For shocks from taps or pipes, add continuity to water pipes, voltage under load, and comparative voltages with the main switch off. Complete with tradesman details, signatures, and final sign-off to support safety and compliance.

Electrical Safety Inspection Report
This electrical safety inspection report template helps teams evaluate compliance across worksites and facilities. Inspect tools, appliances, wiring, cords, and temporary circuits for grounding, damage, and proper labeling. Verify use of ground fault circuit interrupters and appropriate equipment in wet areas. Confirm access and clearances around panels, correct enclosure covers, and secure raceways. Assess motor controls, disconnects, and low voltage protection. Review employee training, CPR readiness, and rules for working near energized parts. Validate lockout tagout procedures, availability of approved devices, and supervisory checks. Record findings, note hazards, add recommendations, and capture the inspector signature to provide an overall assessment of electrical hazard control.

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.

Electrical Safety Program Inspection Checklist
Evaluate the fundamentals of your Electrical Safety Program with a structured inspection checklist. This template helps teams review critical controls and safe work practices across the facility, including lockout/tagout requirements, grounding of tools and appliances, use of GFCIs, condition of cords and strain relief, approved equipment for wet locations, restricted use of metal ladders near energized parts, clear labeling of disconnects and circuits, proper enclosure of energized components, adequate access and working space around electrical equipment, sealed openings in breaker panels, and correct covers on switches, receptacles, and junction boxes. It also reinforces safe approach distances for high‑voltage lines and promotes timely repair of damaged wiring to reduce risk and improve compliance.
