In this video I talk about the importance of verification of isolation in establishing an electrically safe work condition. Verifying the absence of voltage. A strong lockout tagout program has to be the key element of your electrical safety program. Establishing an electrically safe work condition is where you must begin. Appropriate shock and arc rated PPE must be worn while verifying an absence of voltage. Every circuit must be considered live until verified it is not.
OSHA will cite you for not wearing PPE during verification of zero energy.
