David,

This discussion is futile at this point!.

Required equipment? Start with OSHA.Gov Subpart I 1910.132. And keep reading.

How about you reading NFPA 70B and quit making more crap up...?

If you are fool enough to not find an answer go to the CDC, NIOSH, NFPA, Google "Capelli-Schellpfeffer Inc", the sources of in formation and training available in today's world is pretty endless.

Look in the mirror if tyou want to see a "FOOL".

Your not the first (fool) to think that OSHA applies to us.


You don't even know what "High Voltage Service" is; and I "assumed" you knew something!

You post what High Voltage "is" and I may discuss this further. Otherwise your just another "wanna-be" idiot that thinks he knows ssomething and needs to impose your made-up beliefs it on all of us out here.

Now if your doing commercial inspections at higher voltages, or you have employees, thats a different story.

Mark, what I am saying has nothing to do with what is required. I want to know what your sorry *** thinks is required.

There are standards. And contrary to your inability to read, I do not suppress safety of Home Inspectors.

I just don't need the likes of you "dictating" what we "Must do".

Until you deal with "High Voltage" ( which is something you are going to define for us, Right?"), shock zones and arc flash zones are not required in a home inspection.

Now if you guys want to go past the J. McKenna IR course for home inspections, you must know about this stuff. There is no reason for it in what you are working on, and John has no obligation to train you in this area.

It is recommending an electrician to evaluate makes him liable for the electrician's bill, in my opinion. If he just wrote three outlets not working in kitchen, he would not be in such hot water.
