I found that even General Contractors who are taking NFPA 70E standards seriously are bending the rules in order to keep from losing clients. They will say one thing and do another. Once the "safety doors" close, another mentality activates. In order to be competitive, other electrical contractors will be asked and are performing live work that OSHA considers feasible to shut down. Until all electricians get on board to protect each other, the deaths and injuries will continue. There are already too many of us that have been killed or disfigured. Enough is enough.
Thank You Mike for helping us press this issue. Keith M. Prendergast
