I think it's more than that. The building inspector was leading me to believe I would need to buy protective clothing and grounding equipment. The was I understood it was like a welders vest with cuffs and heavy gloves, all grounded. It was a busy time, water was flowing, it was 8 degrees out and everyone was cold but he suggested I look into it. I didn't get the impression it was a local requirement and he did say they just finished additional OSHA training. Our inspectors do get a lot of schooling here. I'll email him and ask him to elaborate and post what he tells me. I know he said he was authorized to stop me, the only safety equipment I was wearing at the time was a hardhat.

OHSA has no new electrical requirements per se; however, OHSA does expect the use of consensus standards to help in the selection of the best method to achieve compliance with the OSHA regulations and therefore; reference NFPA 70E. http://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATION S&p_id=25540 -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tom Duross Sent: Tuesday, January 30, 2007 6:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: regarding fire pumps A couple of things to share.. FM has issued a recall on woods couplings and are requesting they be replaced. I did a test the other day with FM and he noted the woods and told me he'd send me the info. I've also been told, but can't confirm there are new OSHA reg's on entering a motor contoller. I was told, a couple of times, that there are new training courses and apparell required. I guess this means taking voltage and current readings. Anyone know more about this?
