I could see an inspector having to wear all that safety stuff if your into a live 480 volt panel but it's rediculous to make them were them looking into a 120 volt panel. Also I have a problem calling those little pen like instruments that light up when in close proximity to AC, a tic tracer. A tick tracer is a 2 part piece of trouble shooting equipment that injects a "tick" at one point so that it can be located on the other end.

one thing i noticed was the issuance of cotton garments which is a violation of the NFPA70E. Arc Flash rated clothing is required depending on incident voltage and exposure. Opening a panel to expose live parts requires more than just a cotton shirt. It requires FR rated clothing.Also did not see any issuance of hearing protection also required to protect an employee from the dB caused by sound pressure wave if an event were to occur. Email me if you want several plans from similar employers. 25yrs performing EHS-BS Safety Engineering each RIT

OSHA-OSHAct 5A1 requires employers to provide workers with a safe and healthy work place. Employers must protect employees from workplace hazards such as arc flash. If this employer did not have a workplace health and safety program for electrical which includes Arc Flash protection, they were in violation of Federal Law.

Were inspector has to de-energize a service or circuit i think the lock out and tag out would be better if the inspector has no one there at time of inspection. Tag should read system under inspection do not remove lock or tag it`s criminal offense to remove lock or tag. some thing like that may not always point of disconnection.

Thank you DP Moore

Be safe!!
