Description
About this SWMS for Isolation, Lockout, Test and Working on Electrical Equipment
Isolation, lockout, testing and control of energy are critical processes used to prevent uncontrolled energy release when working on electrical systems. 
This SWMS provides a step-by-step framework to help employers, supervisors and workers manage these activities safely and maintain compliance with WHS legislation.
By implementing this SWMS, workplaces can reduce the risk of electric shock, arc flash, burns, or mechanical injury, ensuring that energy sources are properly identified, isolated, secured and tested before work begins.
The control of electrical risks and hazards is comprehensively detailed in several pieces of legislation. It is extremely important that all the applicable acts, regulations, codes of practice and Australian standards are reviewed and discussed in as much depth as is necessary to effectively manage electrical safety.
Note: If isolation is not practicable (e.g. operation of plant is required to clean, maintain, repair or adjusted by moving components slowly under power), the process must have controls applied that allow safe movement.
Lockout Tagout Procedures and Electrical Safety Compliance
Implementing a lockout tagout (LOTO) procedure is one of the most effective ways to control hazardous energy and prevent serious electrical incidents. This SWMS outlines how to correctly identify, isolate, lock and test all energy sources before work begins. By following these procedures, workers can safely perform maintenance or repairs without risk of unexpected re-energisation.
Adopting a formal isolation and lockout process not only protects workers but also ensures compliance with Australian WHS legislation, Codes of Practice and Australian Standards relating to electrical safety.
Job steps that are covered in the safe work method statement include:
- Planning and preparation.
- Identification of all energy and power sources to be isolated.
