When you need this form
Isolation permits are issued before anyone works on or near electrical equipment: switchboard maintenance, plant repairs, fit outs, or the rare authorised energised task that cannot be avoided. The permit names the isolation points, the locks applied, and the person who proved the circuit dead. Energised work needs a documented justification and tighter controls. Electrical work sits at the top of every WHS risk register for good reason.
Permits are worthless if they are signed in the office. Filling one on the switchboard, with a photo of the applied lock and tag and dual signatures captured on the spot, is what makes the control real. Regulators and insurers investigating an electrical incident look for exactly that: proof the isolation was verified before, and the permit was closed after.
What good looks like
- Every isolation point listed by board, circuit and device number.
- Lockout and tagout verified, with a photo of the applied lock.
- Test before touch recorded: instrument used, proved live then dead.
- Energised work justified in writing, with the authorising person named.
- Dual sign off on issue and on permit close out.
Electrical isolation and energised work permit, answered
Is this a PDF or Word template?
Neither. It is a live form: your crew opens it on their phones, ticks it through, attaches photos and signs on the glass. Every submission is timestamped, GPS-pinned and stored as proof.
When is an electrical isolation permit required?
Before work on or near electrical equipment where unexpected energisation could injure someone. Most sites also require one for switchboard access and any task where a contractor relies on someone else's isolation.
What should an energised work permit include?
The reason energised work is unavoidable, the authorised person approving it, the controls and PPE in place, the exclusion zone, testing results, and signatures from both the issuer and the worker doing the task.
