And don’t let anyone close to the breaker box while you are working, my grandfather nearly died when some idiot turned the power back on for an industrial machine he was repairing. In his case both the elecrricity and the machine itself could have killed or disabled him.
I was walking someone around once who basically asked “it looks like you could cut it”. I mean yeah… I guess. The point isn’t to make it literally impossible, it’s to make sure it doesn’t happen accidentally. The person driving the excavator could just decide to chase me with it to if they really wanted.

I believe that’s why a lot of machines now have locks, so the person working on it can lock the machine with a padlock and take the key with them.
Looking around, it seems like some setups now have a lock per person doing the work, so no one can accidentally leave someone in danger.
I remember the first time I saw lock out tag out proceedures, I audibly said “oh fuck yeah” involuntarily in front of a bunch of people I didnt know
