You wear personal protective equipment appropriate for incident energy and task: arc-rated clothing, voltage-rated gloves with leather protectors, eye and face shields, EH-rated footwear, and hearing protection. You use insulated tools, barriers, and test instruments validated on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized before clearance. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permitting and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets installed, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to avoid idle crews and rushed work. You reference NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You prepare work for each inspection, employing a detailed inspection checklist: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. You keep as-builts accurate, remedy red tags immediately, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
