The way I read it, the requirements for work permits are not optional.
Lets say that my employee needs to shut down a 480 volt panel to perform work in it. After lockout, he needs to test that it's in fact de-energized. He would have to don the appropriate PPE, but does he need a work permit? The way I read it he would.
It looks like I'm going to spend my days running around issuing work permits.
