Is an Energized Work Permit required when performing voltage tests and diagnostics on electric panels?
NFPA 70E identifies some conditions under which an energized work permit is not required for each exposure to an electrical hazard. Testing for absence of voltage is one of those conditions and diagnostics is another. However, the exception is not so freewheeling. Workers who perform these tasks must be qualified for the specific task to be performed. To be qualified for the task as defined in NFPA 70E, workers must receive training as defined by Article 110.
