4. All electrical enclosures such as switches, receptacles, junction boxes, FS covers, and plastic plates for duplex receptacles must be tight-fitting and properly sealed.
I just trimmed out a basement in a large dwelling, there are no plates on the devices, the lighting is merely pigtails.
The owner has decided to occupy this 'unfinished' dwelling, against my advise to him to do so.....
We have no OC here, and yes the obvious hazards exist in occuping an unfinished dwelling.
How is this then a liability of the EC ?
7. The Electrical Contractor is responsible for all trades cord sets on the job site. OSHA mandates that an assured grounding program be implemented that includes daily continuity checks on all electrical equipment and cord sets. This can be burdensome. As an alternative, OSHA permits the use of GFCI's in place for 15 and 20 amp 125 V AC circuits. This is a far more popular option.
Trades will commonly be on a renovation before the EC, and plug into any available source.
How then is this applicable to the EC if he/she is not even present as yet?
8. The use of multi-tap adapters are not permitted.

9. All portable electric tools and equipment at the site should be grounded or double insulated. If they are not, it's a violation.
