    These Electric Vehicle Safety Rules  have structured levels of technician qualification and responsibility as detailed in PART 4 - Technician Roles and Responsibilities.

  3. 1.3 Electrical Vehicle Safety Rules 

    These Electric Vehicle Safety Rules  set out the principles to be applied when working on Electric Vehicles  where Danger  exists from electrical energy sources that operate at HV  . These rules Shall  be applied in the following circumstances when working on HV  where the electrical energy source has a nominal operating voltage in excess of 60V (Alternating Current (AC) or Direct Current (DC)).

    • When a HV  source is present on an EV  (for example: a high voltage battery), or an external power source is used.
    • When an EV  is being worked on
  4. 1.4 Defined Terms 

    Words which appear in Bold type in these Electric Vehicle Safety Rules  are 'Defined Terms' and are listed in PART 9 - Terminology and Definitions.

PART 2 - GENERAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 

  1. 2.1 Scope and Application 

    These Electric Vehicle Safety Rules Shall  be applied to EV HV  systems and associated equipment in conjunction with any local market legislation.

  2. 2.2 Information, Instruction and Training 

    Arrangements Shall  be made by the Company  to make sure:

    1. That all Employees and/or contractors concerned are adequately informed as to -
      • The risks to their health and safety as identified by risk assessment.
      • The preventative and protective measures to be taken.
      • Procedures to be followed in the event of serious and imminent Danger  .
      • The risks arising from the activities of any other employee in the workplace.
    2. That all Persons  concerned are informed and instructed as to the EV  systems which are affected by a particular operation or work (if or not they are owned or operated by the Company  ) and which legal requirements, Electric Vehicle Safety Rules  , related documents and procedures Shall  apply.
    3. That other persons, who are not Employees  or contractors, but who may be exposed to Danger  by the operations or work also receive correct information and instruction.

PART 5 - WORKSHOP SAFETY AND PREPARATION 

  1. 5.1 Segregation of work areas for work on High Voltage systems and components 

    Where work activities are to be performed on EV  system which have the capability of being connected or coupled to energy sources which could give rise to any risk and/or hazard, a designated work area Shall  be established by the use of barriers and signage to denote the designated work area.

    The designated working area must be in place before the Electric Vehicle HV  system is powered down as per the JLR  service information procedure.

    The safety barrier must also display the 'Danger High Voltage' sign as detailed in PART 5.2 of the Electric Vehicle Safety Rules  or any specific warning wording as required by local legislation.

    Only Persons  who are directly associated with the work under the PTW  or those who are signed onto the Working Party  of a LWC  are permitted to access the designated work area.

    EXAMPLE: EXAMPLE:
    All EV  that require work to be completed 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 HV  battery is removed from the vehicle to have further work completed, 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 LWC  . The safety barrier must be a minimum of 1 meter away from the HV  battery on all sides.

PART 6 - USE OF SAFETY DOCUMENTS FOR WORKING ON ELECTRIC VEHICLES 

  1. 6.1 Guidelines for the completion of a Permit-To-Work 
    NOTE: All PTW  documents must be kept for a minimum of 5 years.

    General requirements

    1. All entries on a PTW  Shall be legible.
    2. A ball point pen or similar Shall  be used to make sure that the originals and the copies are clearly defined.
    3. The PTW  Shall not be issued until the Electric Vehicle  system has been successfully Powered Down  in accordance with the Approved  service information.
    4. All sections of the PTW  Shall be completed. Where part of a PTW  is not relevant then Not Applicable Shall  be inserted.
    5. A photocopy of the written PTW  must be generated after PART 6 (Receipt) of the PTW  has been signed by the EVCP  . This copy Shall  be stored in the appropriate PTW  holding place within the Company  . The copy is not to be altered after this point. The only exception to this is if the written PTW  has been lost, in this instance the copy of the PTW  can be canceled, providing a PTW  Surrender Form has been completed and attached to the PTW  copy.
    6. If any additional work has been identified after PART 6 of the PTW  has been completed and a PTW  copy has been generated, the following process Shall  be adhered to:
      • The EVCP  who is the recipient of the PTW  is to report the extra work required to the issuing EVAP  .
      • The issuing EVAP  Shall check the vehicle and the extra work requested by the EVCP  .
      • After confirming the extra work requested by the EVCP  is needed and safe to do so the detail of the extra work required Shall  be detailed into PART 3 of the written PTW  .
      • A new photocopy of the written PTW  is required and Shall  be attached to the original photocopy held by the Company  .
    7. Any correction made must be such that the contents of the PTW  remain legible.

    Permit To Work procedures for work/testing that exceeds a working day 

    Where a PTW  is in force and the work has not been completed at the end of the working day, or at the end of a Shift, the PTW  must be 'Cleared' and 'canceled' and a new PTW  issued when the work is to be resumed.

    The EVAP  preparing the new PTW  is responsible for making sure that all the required safety measures and Safety locking Devices  are still in place on the HV  system.

    The EVAP  who Issues the PTW  is preferred to be the same EVAP  all the way through the PTW  process. Although a different EVAP  can be used to perform the Cancellation and Power Up  procedures at the end of the PTW  process if necessary. The EVAP  Shall sign for the PARTS they have individually completed on the PTW  .

    If a PTW  issued is missing, an PTW  Surrender Form Shall  be completed and attached to the photocopied PTW  which can then be canceled.

    NOTE: Only an EVAP  or Higher trained Person  is permitted to complete an PTW  Surrender Form.

    If the recipient EVCP  is missing, an PTW  Surrender Form Shall  be completed and attached to the written PTW  which can then be canceled.

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.

  2. 7.2. Scope 

    This Safety Rules Procedure  apply to work or testing on components requiring a vehicle HV  system power down in accordance with 7.1.2 of the EV  Safety Rules:

    • All work or testing on Electric Vehicle System Components  mechanical and electrical.
    • All Persons  engaged to work or perform testing on EV  systems.
  3. 7.3 Identification 

    The EV  on which work is performed Shall  be readily identifiable using the EV  system status signs - refer to 5.2 above.

    All JLR  approved service information procedures that require HV  system power down are identified by the EVAP  person icon and include to the HV  power down procedure, as shown in illustration E231468.
