EV Collision Intake and Quarantine Log

Inspection log for receiving, isolating, and monitoring a collision-damaged electric vehicle before repair work begins. Supports documentation of quarantine location, battery condition, thermal event monitoring, and safety controls aligned to EV post-collision handling practices.

Inspection Details

• Vehicle identification recorded
  Capture the VIN, year, make, model, color, and license plate if available.
• Intake date and time recorded
  Document when the damaged EV was received into shop custody.
• Vehicle received as collision-damaged EV
  Confirm the unit is an electric vehicle with visible or reported collision damage.
• Intake source documented
  Identify whether the vehicle arrived by tow, customer drop-off, insurer release, or internal transfer.

Quarantine Location and Isolation

• Vehicle staged at least 50 feet from structures and occupied areas
  Verify the EV is isolated in a designated quarantine area away from buildings, customer traffic, and other vehicles per shop safety protocol.
• Quarantine area free of ignition sources and combustible storage
  Check that the staging area does not contain welding operations, open flames, smoking, fuel containers, or other ignition hazards.
• Vehicle access restricted and marked
  Confirm cones, barriers, signage, or other controls prevent unauthorized access to the quarantined EV.
• Quarantine location documented
  Record the exact bay, lot position, or designated isolation zone used for storage.

Battery and High-Voltage Hazard Check

• Visible battery pack damage inspected
  Inspect the underbody, battery enclosure, and surrounding structure for puncture, deformation, leakage, or impact damage.
• No signs of thermal event observed at intake
  Check for smoke, heat, hissing, popping, odor, discoloration, or other indicators of battery instability.
• High-voltage warning indicators present
  Document whether warning lights, labels, placards, or manufacturer hazard indicators are visible or active.
• Battery temperature recorded
  Measure and document battery or pack temperature if accessible using approved non-contact or manufacturer-approved methods.
• Thermal monitoring plan initiated
  Confirm the vehicle is scheduled for periodic observation for heat, smoke, odor, or other delayed thermal event indicators.

Safety Controls and PPE

• Technician wearing required PPE
  Verify appropriate PPE for EV collision intake tasks, such as safety glasses, gloves, and other shop-required protection.
• Lockout-tagout or disablement procedure verified
  Confirm the vehicle has been placed in the shop's approved disablement state before any repair activity or energized work.
• Emergency response resources available
  Verify spill kit, fire extinguisher, emergency contact list, and escalation procedure are available near the quarantine area.
• Area ventilation adequate
  Confirm the quarantine area is adequately ventilated and free from accumulation of smoke, fumes, or off-gassing.

Monitoring Log and Release Decision

• Observation interval established
  Record the planned frequency for battery and vehicle checks while in quarantine.
• No change in battery condition during monitoring
  Document whether the vehicle remained stable with no new heat, smoke, odor, leakage, or audible warning signs during the observation period.
• Corrective action or escalation documented
  If any deficiency or non-conformance is observed, record the action taken, including notification to management, fire department, AHJ, or OEM guidance as applicable.
• Vehicle cleared for next repair step
  Confirm the EV may proceed to approved diagnostic or repair workflow only after quarantine requirements are satisfied.
