I'm going to get on my rant for a second and tell you what causes it and that is LOTO cost money and time for training it's all about the money. I've been a maintenance supervisor for a long time and getting upper management to agree to the cost for one which doesn't seem to be quite as bad as sending badly needed technicians to the training and some of the rules are overkill because the procedures to make them safe cause too much downtime. We seem to always go into panic mode when someone files a Workers Comp Claim because it automatically raises thier rates then it's whatever it takes we're dedicated then a few months later back to the same old way of doing business. I'm glad I'm scheduled to retire in a few years and it ain't soon enough, you young bucks need to put your foot down and make sure things are done properly and I'm sure no one has been fired yet for following proper LOTO. According to the NEC the maintenance supervisor is responsible to make sure a new installation is wired properly before power up. Take my advice Bro the best tool in your pouch is a good VOM meter my preference is Fluke choice of the pros and remember the golden rule the probes go in before the fingers go on we're in a dangerous business one second kills. Good Luck CT
