SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Generic AI produces generic safety paperwork that regulators reject: vague tasks, controls that collapse to PPE, actions with no owner, causes that stop at "worker error," and personal data leaking into widely shared documents. This Skill forces specificity through a structured intake, applies the de-energize-first default and statutory three-part live-working test, ranks controls through the hierarchy of controls, scrubs personal and health data, and runs a domain-expert SME review before any output is shown.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured Intake & Specificity Gate: Forces the named task, live conductors/apparatus, and operating voltage before any drafting; refuses vague requests like "work near the live parts."
  • De-energize-First Statutory Justification: Records the de-energization evaluation first (NFPA 70E Article 120 / EAWR dead-working), then applies the three-part live-working test (unreasonable to be dead + reasonable to work live + suitable precautions) per EAWR reg 14 and OSHA 1910.333(a)(2); rejects convenience justifications.
  • Approach Boundaries & Arc-Flash Cross-Reference: Defines limited and restricted approach boundaries per NFPA 70E 130.4 and cross-references arc-flash incident energy and PPE category from the arc-flash-assessment skill without recomputing them.
  • Energized-Work Permit & Report Generation: Assembles an NFPA 70E Annex J energized electrical work permit and renders a branded DOCX and PDF via the shared report engine.

Quick Start

Use the live-working-risk-assessment skill to produce a consultant-grade risk assessment and energized work permit for a thermographic survey on the energized LV switchboard SB-2 at 400 V, including the statutory justification and approach boundaries.

Frequently Asked Questions about live-working-risk-assessment

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create an energized electrical work permit that satisfies NFPA 70E and OSHA live-working requirements?

An energized electrical work permit requires a named task, operating voltage, and a statutory three-part live-working test justifying why de-energization is unreasonable. The assessment enforces OSHA 1910.333(a)(2) and NFPA 70E Article 120 before generating the permit.

What is the three-part live-working test for energized work risk assessments?

The live-working test verifies it is unreasonable to work dead, reasonable to work live, and suitable precautions are in place. This statutory test aligns with EAWR reg 14 and OSHA 1910.333(a)(2), rejecting convenience as a valid justification for energized work.

How do I define limited and restricted approach boundaries for an energized electrical task?

Approach boundaries are defined per NFPA 70E 130.4 based on the operating voltage of the energized conductors. The risk assessment calculates these boundaries and cross-references arc-flash incident energy from arc-flash assessment data without recomputing it.

Can I use this skill to generate risk assessment paperwork for a 400V thermographic survey on an energized switchboard?

Yes, this skill produces consultant-grade risk assessments for specific tasks like thermographic surveys on energized LV switchboards. It requires the named equipment, live conductors, and operating voltage upfront to pass the specificity gate before drafting.

What hierarchy of controls ranking does an energized work permit need to follow?

Energized work permits must rank controls using the hierarchy of controls, treating arc-rated PPE as the last line of defense. The assessment enforces this ranking and mandates SME review before outputting the final permit and report.

Why does generic AI fail to produce compliant energized electrical work permits?

Generic AI produces vague tasks, collapses controls to PPE, and leaks personal data into shared documents. This skill enforces specificity through structured intake, de-identifies health data, and applies the de-energize-first default to meet regulatory standards.
