Electrical Safe Isolation Procedure Checklist

by Chris Levers, from the Community

30+

This electrical safe isolation procedure checklist guides electricians and maintenance teams through each step required to make equipment safe before work. It covers identifying the correct point of isolation and circuit ID, selecting an appropriate isolation device based on BS7671 guidance, applying lockout tagout devices, and preventing inadvertent reinstatement. The checklist prompts verification using an approved, calibrated voltage indicator and proving unit, with photo evidence of calibration and device operation. It includes recheck steps to test before and after, securing covers, reidentifying sources, documenting actions, and formal confirmation that the system is safe to begin work. Use this template to standardize safe isolation, support compliance, and reduce risk of electric shock or unexpected energization.

High Risk Isolation Audit Checklist
This high risk isolation audit checklist helps teams verify hazardous energy controls and validate isolation effectiveness on complex worksites. It covers identifying energy sources, selecting proper isolation methods, testing single and multiple isolation points, and documenting TRA and permit requirements. The template supports assigning an isolation coordinator, communicating activities to nearby workers, and ensuring all tools are cleared and personnel are safe before re energising equipment. Use it to improve compliance and reduce risk during electrical, mechanical, and commissioning tasks.

Electrical Isolation Procedure and Test Sheet
This isolation procedure and test sheet guides safe electrical work by documenting power isolation before and after tasks. Record job details and workers, identify the area of the installation, isolate at the main switch or final subcircuits, apply lockout kits and danger tags, and capture photos of the isolation and re-energization. Document required testing to verify circuits are de-energized and reinstated correctly. Designed to support compliance with Western Australia regulations 1991.

Electrical Safe Isolation Guide Notes
This electrical safe isolation guide provides step-by-step flowchart notes to ensure circuits and equipment are made safe before work begins. It covers selecting and proving a test device, identifying the correct point of isolation, switching off and withdrawing fuses, locking off MCBs, fitting warning labels, and verifying dead using a voltage indicator across phases to earth, phases to neutral, and neutral to earth. Use the notes section to record findings and site location, reinforcing safe practice and compliance.

Permit to Work including Electrical Isolation
Use this Permit to Work including Electrical Isolation checklist to support safe isolation and control of work on site. The template guides permit authorities and isolating authorities through verifying competency, cross-referencing Work Control Certificates and Isolation Confirmation Certificates, identifying and labeling isolation points, and ensuring up-to-date drawings are available. It also prompts toolbox talks, hazard identification, and confirmation that prerequisite controls and supporting certificates are in place. Use it to monitor boundaries of the task, manage changes in scope, and document compliance with the site's safe system of work.
