Less Work to Meet Safety Requirements
Peter Walsh, PE
Some facilities are changing their requirements for motor and appliance
installations. This could be due to OSHA Lock-out and Tag-out
requirements or NFPA 70E. The change is toward using pin and sleeve
devices instead of having a hard-wired installation.
Safety requirements often have the maintenance person checking for the
absence of voltage before touching. The rules are quite specific and are
enforced by OSHA.
