safe isolation is a term used when isolatitng a circuit safely. The following link gives good detail on how to Safely Isolate.
Safeisolation
Main points to remember
1, Make sure your tester is working correctly on a proven unit.
2, Test source to disconnect
3, Switch off source and lock off with padlock/warning notice
4, Test disconnected source again to prove isolated.
5, Re test your tester on a proven unit.
That is a very basic summary of perfroming a safe isolation.
ANy more questions feel free to ask

Ensure you place a warning notice at the isolator otherwise it will be an instant fail. As it was for a electrician siting his A grade license in WA.
Best of luck
