PPE and LOTO
Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify no presence of voltage, and apply isolation devices with durable tags and locks under a documented procedure. You wear personal protective equipment aligned with 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the appropriate permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 organize work for every inspection, utilizing a detailed inspection checklist: rough-in box fill, staple spacing, derating, conduit support intervals, equipment working clearances, service disconnect labeling, bonding jumpers, and arc-fault/GFCI protection verification.
