Carrier notified the city of montebello verbally on february 6, 2008 and in writing on february 19, 2008. Carrier provided installation procedures and lock-out/tag-out devices on each shore power plug. The lock out device is a physical barrier to use of the shore power feature and eliminates the potential safety hazard.
