Keeping up with the requirements of the Code should be the goal of
everyone involved in electrical safety. Following is what I feel is an
important rule in the 2020 NEC®, complete with
graphics and a video. I encourage you to use it as a training resource for
your organization, and share it with your colleagues.

Not enough can be said about the tragedy of electric shock drowning (ESD) and the hazards involved with using electricity around water. Unfortunately, many of the changes or additions to the NEC are propagated by a tragic or near tragic event and these changes should be considered the most significant. One such addition to the 2020 NEC, is a requirement to make available a device to detect and measure leakage current at marinas and boat docks. While there isn't much text in the new section [555.35(B)] itself, there is a ton of info in the Informational Notes that immediately follow.
You can't be serious about electrical safety without taking into consideration the hazards inherent wherever electricity might come into contact with water but to really understand this rule and it's implications, read the attached PDF and make time to watch this important video as myself and a panel of experts discuss this new rule and the informational notes that follow.
