Use AI to prepare a clear prep and safety briefing before working on energized equipment.
Before you work on live panels, hot circuits, or energized equipment, you need a rock-solid plan—not just for yourself, but for anyone working with you. Instead of rushing through a mental checklist or scribbling notes on scrap paper, use AI to generate a comprehensive safety briefing and step-by-step prep list tailored to the specific job. Just tell the AI what type of work you're doing and what equipment is involved. It'll give you a structured prep list covering safety gear, lockout/tagout steps, voltage verification, hazard zones, and communication points. You can review it in your truck, share it with your helper, or keep it on your phone as a reference. Walking onto a live job with a clear, written plan makes you more confident and keeps everyone safer. This takes two minutes and can prevent a dangerous oversight when you're under pressure or working in an unfamiliar environment.
