Recently saw a GE loadcenter with one GE breaker, the rest were Square D Homeline breakers. Additionally the panel is in a clothes closet. Fortunately I was not there to do electrical work.

Try working on some Federal Defense projects. You do not take pics. They get real touchy.

If pictures are REALLY necessary to successful completion of the job, have the facility photographer take pictures. When I worked at the DOE complex in Kansas City thats how it worked.

We do inspections in one building here in town where we have to have and escort and still can't carry our phones with us plus we have to sign a paper stating that we are a US citizen. Funny thing is, once we're inside they are really proud of the stuff they make and they start telling us all about it.

OT:
I am doing a project at a local refinery right now: we have to check the cell phones at the gate if they have cameras (trying to find one without a camera now is hard). It's because last year they had a "flare" event at the refinery, where something went wrong so they flared off a little bit of excess gas, a necessary evil for safety purposes. But the refinery is in an area near residences, many of who are now hostile to it because of air quality issues. So they JUMP at every chance to stick it to them. During the last event, which was small and hardly noticeable, the local news was showing LIVE footage of the flare, taken from the base of the smokestack, inside of the refinery. It was on the noon news, a good half hour before management even knew about it. So... no more cameras on phones inside of the refinery now. Thanks a lot a-hole. I have to squeeze 50lbs of gear into a 40lb box, I NEED pictures.
Another new development at a big pharmaceutical in town: when you call someone inside of the plant, they now have to ask you if YOU are driving while talking to them. If you say yes, or they hear road noise, they are required to hang up!

Research Facility ... means National Security ... means if you are working in an area with a " Dead Mans Switch " .
I've got news for ya ... that is why it is called a " Dead Mans Switch "
Got it ... Know where you work .
The Gov dose not use 1301 any more ... They care about the Ozone Layer .
