Verified 2026-10-28 Confidence: High

Under 29 CFR 1910.269, once the de-energizing steps for transmission and distribution lines have been followed and the system operator has given a clearance to the employee in charge, the employer ensures that the lines and equipment are de-energized by testing them with a device designed to detect voltage. The step is stated in paragraph (m)(3)(vi).
