sounds like OSHA assured grounding program
The company I work for will send one of us around the job to check cords and if they look bad they tell us to cut them up, I will not cut them, but I ask them to get it off the site.
I do not know what gives us the right to do this but nobody gets too upset if the cords bad.
What kind of 2 gang box, I think it would have to be a threaded hub box with proper strain relief. I would have asked you to remove the cord in a nice way.
Where I work we never make cords, we always buy cords with our company name embossed on the cord right along with the normal info.
This makes it easy to bag people trying to take them, but the least little damage and we send them back to the shop and they are thrown out.
We also keep plenty of GFI 3 way pigtails in the gang box.
On the jobs we work the GC usally has a safety officer and this prevents him from bugging us.
And if there is an OSHA inspection it looks good.
For us it is cost effective, no fines.
