Manage and audit the Permit-to-Work (PTW) system, ensuring that all personnel are properly authorized before entering energized or restricted areas.

Verify the correct application of temporary grounding and earthing systems during construction to prevent accidental energization. Monitor excavation and trenching activities associated with grounding grid installation, ensuring proper shoring, utility detection, and safe work practices are followed.
