We have two guys at the shop that have been there 10+ years. Their SOP is to land wires on breakers in energized panels at the rough. These panels are also used for temp power during construction.
This is what I have been seeing more often. Heavy tools used during construction trip breakers. The other subs go to a panel and turn every breaker on so they can return to work.
This energizes a pile of boxes, whips ect that are not safed off. When asked about this practice both respond "the subs shouldn't be touching the breakers".
This just seems insane to me, does anyone else here practice this?
Thanks
(drives me nuts!!!)
