For safety reasons, I work my employees in pairs. We do maintenance work for a major university. Every job we appoach is "hot" on arrival. My boss is forcing me to stop this practice and work the electricians alone. I feel it's worth the little extra money spent to work in pairs. What I need is support here. Does anyone know of any literature that will back me up? HELP! Seems so wrong to me ...
your boss needs to strap on the tools, put on the beekeeper suit, and go
repair an ATS or something. alone. it'll keep him out of your hair.
unless, of course, he's an administrative type who has never done hot work
before. in that case......

one of the things i find most annoying is being given direction in a matter that
the person giving directions has never actually done the thing he is instructing
me to do.
having someone nearby is a good idea even if the work is not hot work.
electricians usually are paired off for that reason. but you already knew that....
i personally find that two people well paired together accomplish significantly
more than the same two people working separately.
poorly paired people, however, stand around, smoke cigarettes, and chat.
