PORTION 1 - POLICY AND PRINCIPLES
1.1 Policy
These Safety Rules are designed to provide the necessary policy and procedures to enable Persons trained and authorized under these rules to safely perform servicing and repairs to Jaguar Land Rover Electric Vehicles .
Every Company has a moral and legal responsibility to make sure the health, safety and welfare of its Employees and/or contractors. Employees and contractors also have a responsibility to look after their own health and safety and the safety of others by virtue of their actions.
As a result, specific safe working procedures Shall be followed to make sure the safety of all staff and other persons not in the employment of the Company within the working vicinity.
1.2 Principles
The key principles of these EV Safety Rules are to manage and/or remove the identified risks to persons in the workplace, contractors and clients, repair and service personnel and vehicle operators.
These Safety Rules have structured levels of technician qualification and responsibility as detailed in Portion 4 - Technician roles and responsibilities.
1.3 Electrical Vehicle Safety Rules
These EV Safety Rules set out the principles to be applied when working on Electric Vehicles where Danger exists from electrical energy sources that operate at High Voltage (HV) . These rules Shall be applied in the following circumstances when working on HV Systems where the electrical energy source has a nominal operating voltage in excess of 60V (AC or DC).
- When a High Voltage (HV) source is present on an EV (e.g. a high voltage battery), or an external power source is used.

| Example: | Example: |
|---|---|
| All EV that require work to be carried out on or in association with the HV System , must have the safety barrier positioned around the perimeter of the vehicle. The safety barrier must be a minimum of 1 meter away from the vehicle on all sides. | If the High Voltage battery is removed from the vehicle to have further work carried out, the safety barrier must be positioned around the perimeter of the HV battery. Work on the battery internal components is considered Live Working , therefore this area becomes the Live Working area that is controlled by an EVSAP under a Live Work Certificate . The safety barrier must be a minimum of 1 meter away from the HV battery on all sides. |

6.1.7 Using a Permit To Work (PTW) within a JLR approved body repair center.
A PTW Shall be issued at a JLR approved body repair center for repairs that require work on the vehicle HV System in accordance with the approved JLR body repair procedure. This PTW Shall be issued by an approved EVAP as per the guidelines in 6.1.1, this person could be from a local JLR approved retailer if an EVAP is not available at the body repair center.
The PTW can only be closed by the EVAP once the vehicle HV System has been powered down by the EVAP and any work specified on the PTW on the HV System has been carried out by the PTW holder.
Where parts of the HV system are required to be removed to enable body repair it is acceptable to close the PTW once the HV system components have been removed for access.
Where parts of the HV system are required to be removed to enable body repair it is acceptable to close the PTW once the HV system components have been removed for access.
When the vehicle body repairs have been completed by the EVIP technician(s) another PTW Shall be issued by an EVAP for the installation of HV System components by an EVCP and the HV System Powered Up by the EVAP , at this point the PTW can be closed.
It is the responsibility of the JLR approved body repair center to inform the EVAP at a JLR approved retailer of the work required to be completed on the Electric Vehicle (EV). The EVAP must determine the work required for the repair, this may require HV system power down and removal of components associated with the HV System .
Process for an accident damaged EV requiring HV power down before body repair:
- EVAP to power down EV.
- EVAP to prepare PTW defining the work required and issue to EVCP , or himself/herself.

This Portion of the EV Safety Rules sets out the principles and procedures to be followed when working/testing on components within an EV System . Work/testing on an component can be performed in two scenarios.
The component to be worked on is not part of the vehicle HV System and does not directly affect any part of the HV System during the JLR approved service information procedure. In this situation the vehicle HV System is not required to be made safe using the JLR approved HV System Power Down procedure. Providing that the JLR approved service information procedure for the component to be worked on does not request a HV System Power Down then work on the vehicle can continue as normal.
The component to be worked on is part of the vehicle HV System or one or more steps of the repair procedure directly affects part of the HV System . In this situation, the vehicle HV System Shall be made safe using the JLR approved HV System Power Down procedure. The requirement to Power Down the vehicle HV System is detailed in the JLR approved service information procedure for the individual component.
