YOU are the expert trained in the safe management of electrical systems. Other trades or public are not experienced and can not be expected to know what is happening.
If you do not have the time to follow this procedure fully DO NOT LIVEN YOUR SITE. If you are being pressured by other trades or homeowner request help from your manager.

Use a lock off or leave cable UN-terminated at power sauce.
