You locate all energy sources, verify lack of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. 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 confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely.
Permits and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the appropriate permit scope, validate fee schedules, and map permit get more info timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You consult NEC, WAC, and Seattle DCI requirements, documenting load calculations, conductor sizing, grounding, bonding, AFCI/GFCI locations, and fault-current ratings.
You stage work for each inspection, using a precise inspection checklist: rough-in box calculations, staple interval requirements, conductor derating, conduit support specifications, working clearance standards, service disconnect marking, bonding jumper connections, and arc-fault/GFCI protection checks. You maintain as-builts current, resolve red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off corresponds to panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
