I am familure with NFPA70E having read it twice cover to cover. It seems to be very difficult to comply with the energized work permit requirements in a construction setting.I realize that its intent is to only work on de energized equipment except when testing or troubleshooting.And it's hard to make a case that the equipment cannot be shut done. Try telling that to all the other trades on the site. And if we add in the hours that it takes to shut the equipment off during non working hours, overtime etc. then we are at a disadvantage to other companies that do not follow 70E. So I guess clarification on the work permit and hazard analysis would help.It would also help if the engineers would complete the hazards analysis at the time of design.
