Revise text to read as follows:
406.11 Tamper-Resistant Receptacles.
(A) In Dwelling Units. In all areas specified in 210.52, all 125-volt, 15 and 20-ampere receptacles shall be listed tamper-resistant receptacles.
(B) Other Than Dwelling Units. In all areas designated for children or similar areas, all 125-volt, 15 and 20-ampere receptacles that are accessible to children shall be listed tamper-resistant receptacles.
FPN: Examples of these areas would be daycare, preschool, indoor play areas or areas designated for children.
This proposal is the work of a task group formed by the 2nd Year Apprenticeship Class 2C of 2008.
Kenneth Bascombe, Pedro Diaz, Josh Hershey, Philip King, Dan Mruk, Matt Rader, Austin Snook, Bryson Stanhope, Paul Underwood, Bryan Walter and Darryl Hill.
This task group has concluded the following substantiation:
Shock hazards exist at day cares, pre-schools, and similar areas for children, where child to adult ratios can be high. It can only take seconds for children to come in contact and be exposed to a potential shock hazard. If the concern for children exists in a dwelling unit, shouldn't we have the same concern in other areas where children can come in contact with receptacles? We must not forget that 90.1(A) says this code is for the safeguarding of persons and property from hazards arising from the use of electricity. We feel as a task group that tamper-resistant receptacles are a very practical way of safeguarding our children regardless of where their location may be, in a dwelling or in a day care/pre-school setting.
