tidalsculpin Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I am nervous about an inspection tomorrow at school. I think I have a little too much plugged into my walls. I use drip loops and gfcis but don't have grounding probes. Also, I have a pretty big glass tank kinda sitting near the exit in my room. Hope I don't have to pull the plug on Thursday.(nono) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyles Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 They will at worst issue a fix it fine.... just relax and do the best you can, thinking logically is the best, if its a shock hazard then you better unplug it for the day (if you can) Otherwise they are looking for trip hazards, and blatant removal of safety equipment (mainly your woodshop) Our metal shop goes thru it all the time and most of it is just noted stuff and they write in it to fix, if you continue to ignore the writeup then you will be fined... so dont sweat it to much, just dont have exposed live electricity and I think you should be ok.

Lowman Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Did the school ask for the inspection, or is this one of their random ones? If the school asked for it, then they can't fine you for any violations, they will give you tips on how to make everything legal in their eyes.

tidalsculpin Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Yeah, I tried to put all my electrical plug ins above the tanks on a bookshelf. All the wires are out of the way. I also pulled out a daisy chain to a wavemaker I had setup. I was sure they wouldn't like that. The corals can live with a steady current for a day. I'd say it looks safe enough, but that I use more electricity than anyone else in my building. It is crazy to think that I am considering another tank. Made me think twice about power management.

tidalsculpin Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Not sure if the school asked or not. Just found out today. Usually they just tell us the day before it is going to happen. I think schools are mandated to go through the check on a periodic basis and the district arranges the times they come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
