Hey 3rd.
OK you sound like a decent guy. with your first post it seemed like it was your cord and you knew it was wrong and did it all the time. I felt kind of bad about what I had written before and then Brian blew me out of the water. When you are in Ventura CA stop by and I will buy you a beer.
My point was if you know you are doing something wrong bring it to the companies attention. Often times guys will work with bad equipment and not try to replaces it. Like I always said when I ran the maintenance shop I can't fix it if I don't know it's broken. However since it was supplied by your foreman, that is a different situation. Would it be possible to accidently cut the plug off that is missing the grounding plug? I would also think about not doing another job for this company.
Sparky,
You are right, no one is in 100% compliance. But if you know something is wrong and against regs, shouldn't you correct it. When is it OK to knowingly break a regulation?
Hey 3rd, if you want some back up I could find the OSHA reg for you to get that stuff replaced. I just need to know what state you are in to know if it is under FED OSHA or a state program. Let me know if you want me to find it for you. Sounds like it is a moot point now anyway.
Peace to all.
Scott
