This SE Switching Plan template supports safe electrical shutdowns and switching operations in accordance with CSA Z462 practices. It guides technicians and customers through assessing equipment condition, reviewing drawings and single line diagrams, defining roles and persons in charge, and agreeing on a clear, written switching sequence before work begins. The plan recognizes that switching may carry risk due to prior conditions outside the technician’s control and emphasizes collaboration with the customer to verify system status and determine proper procedures. If a process is deemed unsafe, technicians may stop the work. Use this template to document steps, responsibilities, and safeguards to minimize downtime and reduce the risk of injury or equipment damage.
