I know that the discussion of "Grounds up or down" have been discussed at length in multiple threads. Even though it is not an NEC requirement, in a recent thread someone mentioned that OSHA required the grounds to be up, maybe in an industrial enviornment. I have been trying to locate the thread but have had no luck. I would like to find out if this is indeed a fact and where I could find the requirement on OSHA's web site.

Thanks

The only requirement is that they are required to be grounded unless there is some obscured one or maybe some over read the regs.

Not here, not seriously, and not for about 4 years.

There is no such OSHA requirement.

A gentleman recently made such an assertion of such a requirement in his letter, published in NEC digest. I think that's where this came from. The author provided no references or documentation.

Thanks. That must be where I saw it.

"The author provided no references or documentation." And no-one else has any either - it's like looking for hen's teeth.
