After reading these posts by Bennie about coworkers getting injured.

I got to thinking about how I was taught from the start to work hot.
Now where I work we have a no Hot work policy, at first this seemed absurd to me, I am a electrician right?
It turns out this is not as tough as it seems, (exceptions for trouble shooting with PPE) attitudes are changing and we will shut things down or we do not do it.
Can not open a disconnect switch to check fuses without PPE and a "Hot Work" permit.
I am wondering if anyone else works like this?
