Ron,
I agree with you 100%.I would venture to guess though,that they never get tested.I can't imagine a school district maintenance man removing the front cover of an EDF to push a test button.I would also go on to question how many other gfci get tested once a month and documented anywhere.I personally don't have a schedule for testing and documenting GFCI receptacles at my own house.I can't fathom a large school district assigning this task to someone.(They are all complaining about not enough money for the schools already)IMO,the only time a gfci receptacle gets tested is when power is lost and someone is troubleshooting the problem.The new gfci that wont reset if defective will make things safer if they work as their supposed to.

I would still like to hear about the safety drawbacks that osha professor bought up as opposed to using a duplex receptacle on an EDF.Anyone have anything on this?
