Well first off we are not doctors, we did not take any oath.
I would say most Electrical Contractors/electricians are given a license based on an exam pertaining to the NEC. Therfore the licensed personell would practice NEC code in which the license was issued;
90.1 Purpose
(A) Practical Safeguarding. The purpose of this
Code is the
practical safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. This Code is not intended as a design specification or an instruction manual for untrained persons.
But no one said 'ignore' if I see a true 'life safety violation' I would inform someone.
But under no circumstances should that existing violation hold up the inspection(s) of work I have done, nor should the existing violation cost the company one penny to correct. So? a true life safety violation is not a circumstance?
"But if it is existing it is not the electricians duty to fix it unless that was what they were hired to do It is the property owners issue to deal with and pay for." has a hint of "ignore" in this comment.
Do you really believe adding breaker to an existing panel in a location that violates current work space rules is an integrity issue?
I did say
"no Issues" the "that should be problem" is a reference to a life safety issue
Wow.
:roll:
Wow again.
