You can create work permits for working on energized equipment as per the NFPA 70E-2015 (Standard for Electrical Safety in the Workplace, 2015 Edition). Article 130.2(B) in the standard describes Energized Electrical Work Permits. In EasyPower, the work permit is created as a word file as shown in the picture below. The work permit includes information such the voltage, type of equipment, arc flash hazard calculation results on the equipment, the work task and the PPE required for the work, as well as other useful information.
