You wear personal protective equipment matched to 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 here confirmed on a known source before and after testing.
You keep control of lock keys, post boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized too early. You verify again zero energy state prior to removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring machinery carefully and safely.
Licensing and Inspections
In advance of a single conductor gets pulled, permits and inspections establish 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 prevent 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 prepare work for each inspection, employing 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 maintain as-builts up-to-date, remedy red tags without delay, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed. Final sign-off aligns with panel schedules, torque records, and test results.
Open Costs and Transparent Communication
You receive an upfront, itemized estimate that lists labor, materials, permits, and inspections per NEC and local code requirements.
