Whether you're doing DIY or not, please check for available guidelines or regulations wrt safety in case of a fire. The fire fighters need to be able to spray your house with water without getting electrocuted. This is becoming an increasing problem where I live.
If the guy working inside the meter doesn't test for dead, lock out and tag out... He has no business working in there in the first place.
I'm not saying "there's no need to do it", more if you're in a panel and you haven't checked for dead then when people are standing in the dock explaining to a judge why you ended up crispy they'll be saying its your own fault.
Completely agree, recent NEC requires rapid disconnects on each panel that go down to a safe voltage per panel if the heartbeat isn't received (ie disconnect is thrown). This drops the strong voltage to safe levels.
