Energized Electrical Work Plan and Permit

Use the Energized Electrical Work Plan and Permit template to document work under the following conditions:

  • When energized electrical work will be performed within the restricted approach boundary.
  • When personnel may interact with the equipment when conductors or circuit parts are not exposed, but an increased likelihood of injury from exposure to an arc flash exists.

Refer to the UW Electrical Safety Manual for more information.
