This standard operating procedure guides personnel through changing over an existing switchboard or installing a new one. It covers required PPE such as steel capped boots, hi-vis clothing, and safety glasses, identifies electric shock as a key hazard, and emphasizes isolation and testing as control measures. The step-by-step process includes isolating power, marking cables, disconnecting, removing the old board, installing and connecting the new board, testing, de-isolating, and verifying polarity and RCD performance. Space for notes, photos, and signatures supports review and compliance.
