Trumpy, exactly which part of mxslick post you agree with?
It is not necessarily too expensive to train employees to perform certain electrcial tasks, this is a case by case judgement. I dont think OSHA would have a problem with a non-electrcian performing this task as OSHA does not require an electrician. Done correctly, there is no unusual liability (dont confuse liability w/ risk) here other than that which exists when performing any hazardous industrial operation.
If I were to provide mxslick's response to corporate, I'd better be ready to support it
I agree there is an element of risk associated with the job. In that respect, I also agree with mxslick's post. And I also agree that not just anyone should be poking into panels/boxes, thats not what i was implying.
I know there are alot of electrcians on this board, but come on...cant feed ldelee bad info on regs/risk. There must be some OSHA/risk experts out there that can weigh in...?
