PC 1.1 to 1.4 are about discipline before drama. Pull the job card and confirm exactly what work is required. Retrieve the manufacturer's depower procedure for the exact model, year and battery variant — a 2019 LEAF and a 2023 LEAF do not share a procedure. Complete a written risk assessment (JSA/SWMS): identify hazards (HV, stored energy, vehicle movement, capacitors, coolant, lifting), rate the risks and record the controls using the hierarchy — eliminate, substitute, isolate (that is the depower itself), engineer, administrate, and PPE last. Then lay out tools and inspect every item: a nicked insulated tool or an expired glove fails the job before it starts.

1. Read the job card — confirm the customer complaint and the work scope
2. Identify vehicle: VIN, model year, battery variant, HV system voltage
3. Retrieve OEM depower/reinitialise procedure and safety data
4. Complete the JSA/SWMS risk assessment and have it countersigned
5. Select PPE and tools; inspect and record serviceability
6. Set up the exclusion zone: barriers, signage, insulating mat, fire extinguisher accessible
