Portable electric equipment requirements apply to cord- and plug-connected
equipment including flexible cord sets (extension cords). The requirements include the
following. Portable cord- and plug-connected equipment and flexible cord sets shall be visually inspected for external defects and for evidence of possible internal damage before use on any shift. If the equipment and extension cords remain connected once they are put in place and are not exposed to damage, they do not need to be visually inspected until they are relocated. Defective or damaged items shall be removed from service until repaired. Portable equipment shall be handled carefully to prevent damage. Flexible electric equipment cords may not be used for raising or lowering the equipment nor should they be fastened with staples or otherwise hung in such a fashion that could damage the outer jacket or insulation. Locking-type connectors shall be properly secured after connection. |
