We wear task-appropriate PPE and enforce Lockout/Tagout providing zero-energy verification before any work starts. We secure the required permits, coordinate inspections, and supply as-built records to ensure your system passes on the first review. Seattle Codes and NEC While each project is different, our work follows the same foundation: strict alignment with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Seattle Electrical Code. You receive designs and installations that conform to the latest adopted editions, including Seattle's local amendments. We check conductor sizing, overcurrent protection, and fault-current ratings, then document computations for inspection. You'll see compliant service entrance designs with clear working clearances, labeled disconnects, and proper bonding and grounding. We utilize Article 250 procedures, verify electrode continuity, and test impedance to reduce touch voltage during a ground fault. We also make certain AFCI/GFCI protection where specified, tamper-resistant devices, and correct box fill and derating. Equipment listings, wiring techniques, and penetrations conform to listing instructions and Chapter 3 requirements. Final deliverables include as-builts and inspection-compliant compliance reports. PPE and LOTO Founded upon compliant design and installation, field work maintains strict PPE and lockout/tagout controls to keep energized hazards at bay. You determine 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 aligned with 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 retain control of access keys, establish boundaries, and coordinate shift changes so no equipment is re-energized prematurely. You re-verify zero energy state before removal of lockout/tagout and PPE, restoring equipment systematically and securely. Permits Plus Inspections Before a single conductor is pulled, permits and inspections set the safety and compliance baseline for the project. You secure the right permit scope, confirm fee schedules, and map permit timelines to your construction sequence to prevent 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 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, resolve red tags immediately, and initiate re-inspections only when corrections are confirmed.
