I have a question pertaining to the use of flexible cords in a manufacturing environment. My area of expertise is safety and health for general industry and during inspections and audits at our facilities throughout the US, I find the use of flexible cords as an area of great concern.

During a recent visit to one of our manufacturing sites I spotted what I feel are clear cut violations of OSHA regulations and the NEC, however the electrical contractor that installed the wiring insists that his work meets code. This flexible wiring is primarily used to power outlet boxes and permanently installed equipment.
