Which form would be fill out to get a shutdown permit to work?
Reservation form
Application form
Requisition form
None of above
Requisition form
A shutdown permit, also known as a 'Permit to Work' (PTW), is a formal document used in electrical and industrial systems to ensure that equipment is safely isolated and de-energized before maintenance begins. To initiate this safety procedure, a 'Requisition form' must be submitted to the authorized control authority to request the shutdown.

The requisition acts as an official request for isolation. Upon review by the system controller or safety officer, the equipment is isolated (lockout/tagout), tested for dead status, and then a Permit to Work is issued. This process ensures that energy sources are effectively disconnected and protected against accidental re-energization during maintenance.
The Requisition form is the formal request document submitted by the maintenance team.
A Permit to Work (PTW) is a legal document that authorizes specified persons to carry out work in a potentially hazardous area.
Isolation verification, including earthing, is mandatory before the permit becomes active.
Effective documentation prevents accidental re-energization of electrical circuits.
Ensures safety of personnel by isolating electrical hazards
Establishes legal accountability for maintenance tasks
Increases administrative overhead
Can delay emergency repair timelines
High Voltage substations
Power plant equipment maintenance
Industrial grid operations
In large industrial setups, the 'Requisition' is often logged into a Safety Management System (SMS).
Option A (Reservation form) is typically used for room or facility booking, not safety.
Option B (Application form) is a generic term often used for HR or recruitment purposes.
C is correct тАФ The Requisition form is the document used to request the isolation of equipment, which precedes the issuance of a formal shutdown permit.
Always remember that in electrical power systems, technical documentation like the Requisition form is just as critical as the physical safety equipment (e.g., earthing leads and circuit breakers).
