1. When entering an installation, the Inspector will only view or access the areas needed to complete the notification. Touch as little as possible and maintain a safe social distance

2. At the Inspector’s discretion, if a physical site visit can not take place, they will use a wide range of options and discretion to both allow business to continue, exercise their authority and conduct inspections in the coming days and weeks

  • Instead of visiting a facility or dwelling, the ESA Inspector may meet the LEC performing the work at a safe location to review pictures, videos and any other available evidence to give the Inspector comfort regarding the state of electrical safety for the site or installation
  • Pass without a visit as directed and guided by ESA Best Business Practices
  • Sampling tools
  • Photos
  • Videos – live or recorded
  • If an inspector is unable to physically view an installation but has accepted pictures, videos or other evidence, they will record what was accepted or what they were/were not able to view in the notification comments, preceded with “COVID19”
