Bill:
Your solution is one that I use sometimes to expedite matters.

Guys, I remember a few times that someone got "bit" by an open neutral that was part of a multi-wire. They learned real fast!

Some of the cubicle jobs that we have done had a spec for 3 pole common trip cb's. I have to agree with Don about the OSHA reg, as that is the reasoning the architect/engineer wanted the 3 pole cb's. The heater problem was/is controlled by the office managers, as they have to answer to the bean counters "why" the electrician had to come in, and what was the cause. That's not the case at all sites, but it's becoming more prevelant. "Who's responsible"??
