Sequence of Job Steps

List basic sequence of steps from start to finish
Loto and ZVV, turn off all relevant breakers and apply lockout/tagout devices to prevent unauthorized re-energizing. Use Zero Voltage Tester (ZVV) multimeter to confirm there is no voltage before performing any work. Swap circuits 12 and 13 in wireway which is fed from panel 316a21a to correctly reflect panel schedule and devices. Troubleshooting may require toggling breakers on and off. Once work is complete, remove lockout/tagout device(s) and re-energize. Verify circuits are feeding the correct devices according to panel schedule.

Perform Job Briefing

PIC Conducts the Job Briefing. Cover all the contents of the Job Safety Plan.

A Job Briefing at a minimum must include:
  1. Detailed Scope of Work
  2. Shock and arc flash hazards for each task
  3. Controls to mitigate the hazards (procedures, precautions, energy source controls, PPE requirements)
  4. Work area controls (barricades, signs, attendants)
  5. Emergency Response Plan
