We have numerous locations at our facilities that have junction boxes and equipment requiring service with inadequate access.Meaning to get to them you have to crawl over ducts, piping, ceiling framing, edge of block walls etc. They are above drywall lids or in such a location that the use of lifts, ladders, scaffold are of no use.
Besides being a poor installation we are going by OSHA guidelines for walking or work surface guidelines. Clearly the safety requirements can't be maintained in these situations and we are pushing for all locations where this has occured to be modified for proper access. This will be costly but we feel it is a huge safety concern.
I'm looking for any input or experience anyone has had with this type of issue.
