About this SWMS for Isolation, Lockout, Test and Working on Electrical Equipment
Isolation, lockout, testing and control of energy is a process to ensure that hazards and risks are assessed and managed to prevent an uncontrolled energy release. This safe work method statement (SWMS) outlines how employers can safely manage work with the isolation, lockout, testing and working on electrical equipment and enable a safe and healthy work environment for workers.
Note: The control of electrical risks and hazards is comprehensively detailed in several pieces of legislation.
