We provide housing to oilfield locations.Typical setup is a 14x70 trailer house with a 110 volt sump pump for septic discharge. Setup usually is only on location for 15-20 days before moved to another site.
Osha has been hitting us on grounding issues. They are requiring us to use 8ft ground rods for correct grounding ohms.(25ohm) Problem is locations are in West Texas. There is about 10-12 inches of sand then bedrock. We have a method of drilling rock to install rod.Very time consuming.
Question is. Does the equipment attached to mobile home(sewer pot, water pump) need to be grounded with seperate 8ft rod or will bonding it to frame of house work. Equipment is powered from outlets on mobile home.
