Branch Power & Lighting Energization Checklist
by Nicholas Sullivan, from the Community
This checklist supports safe energization of branch power and lighting systems, including construction power. It covers pre-start checks such as conductor termination and labeling, breaker function, panel cleanliness, barriers, and required signage. It emphasizes Lockout/Tagout, arc flash labels, current panel schedules, and documentation. For construction power, it includes splices in junction boxes, proper support of cords and temporary lighting, and correct use of female cord caps. It guides teams through CAZ setup, AHA review, daily huddles, walkthroughs by approved personnel, continuity checks, energization permits, and vendor coordination, concluding with supervisor and installer sign-off.
