Code requires that a wiring method be suitable for it's environment, and that it either protect the wiring, or be itself protected.

The picture shows EMT run along a wall. The open area along the EMT is the scene of a lot of activity; pallets being piled high with produce, shuffled about, trucks being unloaded, etc. As you can see, the pipe is no longer securely attached to the wall. I suspect it was run into a few times!

As I see it, the pipe should have been run higher up, above the "impact zone."

None of the receptacles were damaged.
