I'm an electrician at a manufacturing plant and need some advice. One of the dayshift maintenance guys is wiring a section of our shop for a lathe, drill press etc. I noticed tonight that he had installed a 4x4 box that he has plugged 4 lights into for lathe lighting. He has so cord that he plugged into a power strip providing power to his box. My question is should I mention this to our manager or just speak to him about this?

What's your role in this scenario, casual observer, safety inspector, compliance person?

IMO a solution to a problem that can be achieved without involving management is virtually always preferable.

I would start by speaking to the guy. If he doesn't agree, or is unwilling to listen, then go to management.
