Welcome to the Energized Electrical Work Permit
This form is used to ensure that all energized electrical work is properly evaluated, controlled, and authorized before it begins. Working on or near energized systems presents serious hazards, including electric shock, arc flash, and arc blast. By completing this permit, you verify that de-energizing has been considered first, that all feasible safety measures are in place, and that only qualified personnel are performing the work under approved conditions..
Purpose and Scope:
The purpose of this permit is to provide written authorization and documentation confirming that energized electrical work cannot be performed in a de-energized state and that all required protective measures have been identified, implemented, and reviewed. This includes verification of qualifications, PPE, safe work boundaries, shock and arc flash protection, and proper supervision. The permit ensures compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910 Subpart S and NFPA 70E, supporting a safe and controlled approach to energized electrical tasks.
Stop Work Statement
If any conditions change, protective measures become ineffective, or hazards increase beyond what was originally evaluated, all energized work must stop immediately. The permit must be re-evaluated, and authorization renewed before work can continue. No task or schedule is ever more important than the safety of personnel involved.
