Product Overview
This Electrical Isolation Procedure is a comprehensive, ready-to-use safety document designed specifically for Australian workplaces that manage electrical risks. It provides a clear, step-by-step framework for safely isolating, locking out, tagging and testing electrical equipment and circuits in line with Australian work health and safety legislation and key standards such as AS/NZS 4836 and AS/NZS 3000.
Developed for practical use in electrical and solar, air conditioning and refrigeration, manufacturing and production, and mining and resources environments, this procedure helps you control electrical hazards during installation, maintenance, fault-finding and shutdown activities. It is written in plain, professional language so supervisors, electricians, technicians and contractors can follow it consistently on site.
Key Features
- Covers full isolation lifecycle: planning, risk assessment, lockout/tagout, test-before-touch, temporary re-energisation and restoration to service.
- Aligns with Australian WHS legislation, Electrical Safety laws and relevant Australian Standards.
- Includes checklists and structured steps to support safe, repeatable isolation practices.
- Addresses multi-source supplies common in solar PV, battery storage, HVAC, automated plant and mining operations.
- Supports integration with Permit to Work, Lockout Tagout and broader safety documentation.
Benefits
- Strengthen WHS compliance: Demonstrate a systematic approach to managing electrical risks, supporting your legal obligations under work health and safety laws.
- Reduce risk of shock, arc flash and unplanned energisation: Clear isolation and test-before-touch requirements help prevent serious incidents and near misses.
- Save time on procedure development: Avoid starting from scratch; adapt this professionally written template to your site and operations.
- Improve consistency across sites and contractors: Provide a single, standardised procedure that electricians, refrigeration mechanics and maintenance teams can follow.
- Support audits and investigations: Built-in record-keeping and documentation prompts make it easier to demonstrate due diligence.
Who is this for?
- Electrical contractors and solar installers seeking robust safety documentation for high-risk work.
- Air conditioning and refrigeration businesses managing plant rooms, chillers and packaged units.
- Manufacturing and production facilities operating complex machinery and automated lines.
- Mining and resources operations with high-voltage systems, substations and mobile plant.
- Safety managers, WHS advisors and compliance staff responsible for developing and maintaining WHS documentation.
Legislation & References
This Electrical Isolation Procedure has been developed to support compliance with relevant Australian work health and safety legislation and electrical safety requirements. It references key standards and guidance including:
- Work Health and Safety Act and Regulation (jurisdictional)
