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 retain control of lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You re-verify zero energy state in advance of removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring devices carefully and safely.
Permitting and Inspections
Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections define the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the correct permit scope, verify 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 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 ensure as-builts accurate, resolve red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are verified. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque specifications, and test results.
