Why you need it on the job
Electrical work mixes an invisible hazard with dust, height and other trades working around you. Having the isolation sequence and the re-energisation controls already written means the part that kills people is not the part you improvise on site.
How it links to the standards
The equipment and controls this template asks you to record are governed by published standards that define what each item must withstand and how it is tested. These are the ones that apply most directly:
- EN 60903 — insulating gloves for electrical work
- EN 61482 — arc flash protective clothing
- EN 397 — industrial safety helmets
The full EN standards library covers every standard referenced across SafetyOrbit.

Frequently asked questions
Does it cover chasing and drilling dust?
Yes. Silica from chasing walls is treated as a health hazard in its own right, with on-tool extraction and respiratory protection as controls.
Is the safe isolation procedure included?
Yes, as a step-by-step sequence through isolation, locking off, proving dead and controlled re-energisation.
