PPE and Lockout/Tagout Procedures Building on compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. 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 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 validated on a known source before and after testing. You retain control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment methodically and safely. Permits and Inspections Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain the correct 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 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, remedy red tags promptly, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches more info panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
