Summary

This document outlines Tesla's requirements for technicians working on high-voltage systems, emphasizing that only trained and certified personnel may perform high-voltage disablement procedures.

What to do on the job

Ensure any technician performing a Tesla high-voltage disablement procedure has completed High Voltage Awareness training, holds all required certifications, and wears Class 0 (1000V) insulating gloves.

How to use it

Use this document to justify labor times and safety equipment charges for high-voltage PPE (such as Class 0 gloves) and to defend the necessity of utilizing specifically trained/certified technicians for any Tesla EV battery disablement or handling.
