Changing the padlock when the electrician is about will mean people have

working, do not touch" is better than just "Leave off".

The old sign said a bit more than that. I've made a new one that's
12"x8" and double sided.

The sign would stop pretty much anybody getting the bolt croppers.

I want to be 100% certain. Padlocks have been cut off frequently
elsewhere. The people concerned do not necessarily have a high IQ.

The electrician having their own padlock would seem to be a good start.

Something on the notice pointing out that anyone removing a padlock
without authorisation will be immediately sacked and possibly prosecuted!

Forgot to add - if this is at a place of work (implied by "sack a moron"),
boltchoppers on that padlock = H+S breach = bollocking/sacking. If you've
got staff who will consider doing that, you need to seriously clamp down on
them.

Too late after someone has died. It might be me that's dead. I am
really ****ed off.

If in doubt, crowbar the circuit such that any attempt to power it up
will result in an immediate trip.
