Line Department Job Brief Checklist

This Line Department Job Brief template helps electric utility crews conduct consistent pre job briefings before field work. Capture key details such as date, preparer, supervisor, location, and job description, plus an emergency contact phone number. Document site briefing notes and work procedures, including whether work is energized, performed as hot, and if protective grounds are installed. Identify hazards like energized equipment, terrain, traffic, working at heights, onsite machinery, noise, environmental risks, and underground utilities and confirm locates. Record energy source controls, hot line tag requirements, circuit information, and peak shaving plant status. Note special precautions, required PPE such as hard hat, safety glasses, rubber gloves and sleeves, FR or AR uniform, hearing and fall protection, and high visibility clothing. List all personnel onsite to align roles and communication before the job begins.
