I am a little confused and when this happens I usually confuse others along the way. So I appoligize ahead of time for any idiotic statements. Im not looking at any complicated circumstances so don't overthink it I am newb and don't know any better.
What kind of space do I need around a safety switch?
110.26 requires working space for equipment likely to require examination, adjustment, servicing, or maintenance.
Does a safety switch fit this criteria? Without definitions for what this terms are meant to encompass I can come up arguments each way, but i tend to think that it does not meet the intended purpose of this section.
404.8 gives a height requirement with exceptions for switches but it only says that switches shall be located so that they may be operated from a readily accessible place.
Could i put a switch on the floor and make someone crawl to get to it? It can be reached quickly without having to climb over or remove obstacles.
So if I use exception #2 and place the switch over 6'-7" in the air the only requirement is to be accessible by portable means. There doesn't need to be clearance above below or to the sides of the device only room to operate the device. Is this correct?
I am just so confused. Can someone point me to the light?
