Use this risk category standard to control hazards when working with electricity. The template covers roles and competencies, formal appointments, risk assessments such as IBRA and PTRA, standard operating procedure training, and permit to work requirements. It details earthing and grounding practices, approved testing devices, and verification by competent personnel. Follow positive isolation and lock out tag out steps, keep records, and test for zero energy. Safety interlocks must meet legal requirements and never be bypassed. Guidance also covers selecting insulated tools, calibrating test equipment, and ensuring correct voltage ratings.

Risk Category Standard for Working in Confined Spaces
Use this risk category standard to plan and control safe work in confined spaces. It defines risk roles and competencies, permit to work requirements, positive isolation and lockout tag out, cleaning and purging, ventilation setup, and continuous atmospheric testing with calibrated gas detectors and safe oxygen limits. It outlines full time standby person duties, communication and entry logging, and clear emergency response and rescue planning. Reference related standards for working at heights and high risk machinery, adapt the checklist to your site, and keep records for compliance and audits.
