Under NO CIRCUMSTANCE may a team open any energized electrical system or accumulator container in the paddock.Each team will be assigned to a roughly 10’ x 10’ work area. Each bay will be equipped with an 8’ long table and 2 chairs. Work stations will not be permanently assigned; they are on a first come, first serve basis when team enters the hot work area. Time limits may be imposed if there are more teams requiring hot work than there are available work areas.

- Accumulator/device requiring hot work.
- Insulated tools
- Electrical gloves (including leather overgloves and tested in the last 12 months)
- Safety Glasses for all team members
- Any other required PPE to perform the work
Teams will be required to review their work plan with the hot work area event captain prior to being assigned a work area.
No more than five team members of an individual EV team are allowed to be in the hot work area at the same time; members must have dynamic passes or be the ESO.
