Knife switches / electrcial near hose and water supply

[rhava]

Can someone please look at the attached picture and tell me if there are any code violations or potential safety issues with the hose and water faucet being located next to and above the electrical boxes.

Your input is appreciated.

Looks fine to me.

No shock hazard to employees or equipment with water dripping on top of knife switches? Do switch boxes need any special covers or housing to shield water away?

Thanks,

If you think they will be exposed to hose spray, then the switches can be changed to NEMA 4 enclosures.

if there is dripping water the drip should be fixed. it is not the job of the electrical installation to accommodate every possible failure of every other system.

now if there is routinely water spraying on the boxes they should probably be of an appropriate style box that protects the innards from water spray.
