The City of Grand Rapids Planning, Design and Development Department has implemented a new "No Live Work" policy for our inspectors, effective 1/30/2025. This policy is in place to ensure the safety of our inspection personnel.
We understand this change may require adjustments to your procedures for scheduling inspections, and we appreciate your cooperation in implementing it. To minimize the potential for re-inspections due to access restrictions, we recommend assigning a qualified member of your team to accompany city inspectors during inspections. This will allow your qualified personnel to safely perform any necessary tasks involving energized equipment, such as opening enclosures, while the city inspector conducts their visual inspection from outside the arc flash boundary.
We believe this collaborative approach will streamline the inspection process and maintain a safe working environment for everyone involved.
Thank you for your cooperation as we navigate this change together.
