There are definatly holes in "enforcement"...but read your NFPA 70E for the code
NFPA 70E: Safety in WorkplaceOSHA 1910.333 (a) (1) & NFPA 70E 130.1Qualified electrical workers shall not be asked to work on equipment that is “hot” or “live” except for two demonstrable reasons :1. Deenergizing introduces additional or increased hazards e.g.* cutting ventilation to a hazardous location* emergency alarm systemsor2. Infeasible due to equipment design or operational limitationse.g.* voltage testing for diagnostics * start up testing
