PPE and Lockout/Tagout
Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work follows strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You identify all energy sources, verify absence 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 validated on a known source before and after testing.
You maintain control of lock keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no machinery is re-energized prematurely. You confirm again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery methodically and safely.
Permits & Inspections
Prior to a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You acquire the correct permit scope, validate 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: box fill calculations, staple distances, derating factors, conduit support spacing, equipment clearance requirements, service disconnect identification, bonding jumper installation, and arc-fault/GFCI protection validation. 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.
Open Rates and Transparent Communication
We provide you with an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements.
