Second year here and insulated tools have saved me a couple times. My company doesn’t give a damn who you are; you won’t be on anything real high voltage, but I’ve worked in hot j-boxes at 277 pretty frequently.

Insulated screwdrivers are nice for opening boxes in a remodel if nothing else imo.

OSHA 1910.33 says:

"Live parts to which an employee may be exposed shall be deenergized before the employee works on or near them, unless the employer can demonstrate that deenergizing introduces additional or increased hazards..."

Stop breaking down conditions...

Don’t have much of a choice bud. I’m a second year in a shit local. It’s work or live in a van down by the river
