QOD for 3/18/2006 (electrical)

[jwortham]

My thought is that the panel in the picture should be removed. There are no obvious holes in it, and if you didn’t every electrician would laugh at the fact the poor HI was afraid of safety.

So? Let him laugh.

Hi to all,

Here’s the answer to this question:

**There really isn’t one

**I posed the question to get everyone thinking about electrical safety

• Yes applies to the people who are quite happy around electrical installations and are aware of the safety issues when evaluating rusted panels.
• No applies to anyone who feels that they would be better serving their client by calling out an electrician anyway to further evaluate the codition of the panel.
• Maybe applies to anyone who would spend enough time visually inspecting the panel and maybe checking for stray voltage on the enclosure before thinking about removing the dead front
• Don’t know well that’s what were here for
  Be safe out there!

Regards

Gerry
