PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Based 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 matched to 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 lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Licensing and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is 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 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 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 keep as-builts current, resolve red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
