Joe,
I'm not criticizing anyone in the least. They're doing a terrific job with the information they have. I'm simply trying to use the money that could be saved here for more important issues, such as GFCI protection in kitchens etc.. I was simply hoping to get feedback on whether or not it was a safety issue. We'd never want to ignore these outlets if they are a safety issue.
Thanks, And by the way the best way is lock-out tag-out and then use a multimeter or like device to ensure the power is truly off.
