Hello,
I don't know if I'm posting this question in the the right category, but anyhow, here it is.
Does the NEC apply on private property?
The reason I'm asking is...I work in a xxxxx Plant. This plant is privately owned and operated. We operate 24/7. Since we produce xxxx, I was told we are an agricultural business and that the NEC does not apply here. However, this plants occupancy at any one time is "lots of" people. Plant square footage is "large".
Is this a question for the local state Construction Industries Board?
Please give me some insight to this. I came to work here over a year ago and I've run into numerous code violations, not only in existing electrical work, but also new installations I'm told to put in. I've tried to challenge the fact that some of the work I am required to do is in violation, but I can't change their(supervisors) minds. I am a journeyman and they(supervisors) obviously think they know more about the NEC than I do.
Thanks in Advance!!
