Equipment listings, wiring approaches, and penetrations comply with listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and ready-for-inspection compliance reports.
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 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 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 lock keys, set perimeters, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You confirm again zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely.
Permits & Inspections
Before a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You obtain 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 thorough 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 maintain as-builts accurate, remedy red tags without delay, and submit re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off matches panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
