- Who is responsible for the power distribution and electrical setup?
- Have damaged equipment, cable routes, wet areas and pedestrian access been checked?
- Who can shut off the supply, and does the crew know how to reach them?
Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
