PPE throwing a disconnect

[zog]

Normal and routine are also different items. Just because an action is routinely done, does not mean that it was intended to be performed. Have you seen manufactuerer instructions for installing bus-plugs onto live busway?

There is an established OSHA rule for dealing with reclosing breakers - basically don't do it.
However that same rule says you can close the breaker if you absolutely know why it opened, like due to a manual LOTO operation.

The issue is the risk assessment.

Meeting with a couple friends on both commitees in 2 weeks, will be sure to discuss these grey areas with them (Again).
