It covers mandatory PPE, lockout/tagout procedures, switchboard assessment, isolation, testing and tagging, repair activities with no live work permitted, re-energisation, and final verification. The SWMS references AS/NZS 4836 and AS/NZS 3017, Electricity Licensing Regulations, and company life-saving rules. It also includes tool and equipment checks and worker sign-off to confirm understanding of hazards, controls, and testing procedures before commencing work.
