PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures

Building on compliant design and installation, field work adheres to strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify 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 verified on a known source before and after testing.

You maintain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.

Permits Plus Inspections

Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the right permit scope, verify fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent idle crews and rushed work. You review 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 thorough 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 up-to-date, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
