Turn the boss into OSHA using their Hot Line above. You can always cite Section 110-3(a)8 in the NEC as well.
You too, should have stopped doing what could be considered illegal if you are a qualified person as defined in the NEC. I believe the Judge and Jury would find you at fault though if there was an accident that could be associated with the lack of concern for the safety of others.
Let the ECHO chime in next!
