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 maintain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no device is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Required Permits and Inspections
Prior to a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to stop 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 stage work for each inspection, using a precise 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. You keep as-builts current, remedy red tags immediately, and request re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque documentation, and test results.
