If the panel really is de-energized then the PPE is not really needed. My simple precaution has been that after the lockout and tag-out, I disconnect the main feed at the locked out switch, and lock the switch enclosure. With all the power redundantly removed work can be much faster and safer.. AND to assure getting it right the first time, ALL of those involved need to understand the project prior to the start of work. No “qualified but unknowing” workers allowed.
