Where does the completed Energized Work Permit go after the work is complete?

• A. Sent to site power
• B. Filed in the safety cabinet
• C. Given to the supervisor
• D. Sent to the customer

Answer: (A)

When energized work is finished, the authorization document used to permit that work needs to return to the party that controls the electrical system. The Energized Work Permit serves as the record of what was done, the safety controls used, and who approved the job. After completion, it should go back to site power so they can officially close the job, confirm that all safety steps were followed, and manage any re-energization of the equipment. This keeps the process centralized, ensures accountability, and supports proper documentation for future reference. It wouldn’t stay in a safety cabinet for the next job, be handed to a supervisor for handover, or be sent to the customer, since those paths don’t align with who has the authority to re-energize and maintain the electrical system.
