    You’re entitled, usually required, to add your personal lock onto this when you start working on a locked out job, that way you can be confident they’ll come looking for the last guy to lock off the job before they can get running again, it may save your fingers/arm/life or job. Usually there’s a permit involved and you should know the conditions of the permit, or have your own permit to join a job.

      You know, we’re not required to do that but because of you I just ordered some locks and labels for the field kit (edit: as well as breaker locks).

      Our stuff is always temp (8-12mo) and on a dedicated line. The sites we’re on always involve coordinating with the clients appropriate people and specifically stating we’re not trained in this to their standards (which is why I know some of this stuff but not to the letter), but an extra layer is always a good idea. No harm ever came from an extra lock that couldn’t be fixed.

      Thanks.

      edit: for the record it’s not like we’re negligent, everything in our system is designed to fail-safe, and we compartmentalize power delivery, but still, no harm in a few extra items in the kit.
