Feeder above drop ceiling

If everyone is concerned with OSHA rules why is using an aluminum ladder even being mentioned? I wouldn't even consider using an aluminum ladder while doing electrical work!!! Especially while your body is stuck between a metal grid. All that needs to happen is that you come in contact with a live wire and we'll be reading your name in obituaries!!!

To be OSHA compliant in such a lift don't you have to remain on the platform floor? If you do leave the platform floor or removed the side rails for any reason you should need fall arrest protection.

Yeah, that was in jest (mostly), but I've done it more than once. Been on a 28' extension ladder out of a 60' man-lift:blink:!

A plumber or HVAC guy installing metallic piping or ductwork is doing the same thing as far as what electrical hazards are involved. The task is installing raceway across a dropped ceiling space. Pulling conductors afterward may have different electrical hazard requirements.

I don't even like working off a 28 foot ladder when it is planted on the ground, you get a Darwin award, most recipients have to be dead to get the award.:jawdrop:
