    But the power tools are locked up and make noise. Bolt cutters are silent and not locked up in store.

          Nah, if I want to use a grinder in a situation where it’s not a daily thing I need to have a permit to do that. It doesn’t achieve much, it’s just an insurance thing that says that they know what I’m doing and makes me aware to do things like make sure whatever I’ve worked on cools down safely.

            The permit to do work in an electric cabinet without turning off the power used to also be called a hot work permit, mainly because it was the same from.

            Now work near live power more than 24VDC is banned unless the power is keeping someone alive, or the person performing the work is a contractor.

              To us hot work is work that creates heat.

              What you call “hot work” we call “working live”. I don’t think that there’s a limit on what you can work on live, I think everyone or most isolate first.
