Had a recent meeting with our plant manager pertaining to electrical safety in the workplace. One topic he brought up that struck me as being totally bogus was that we could no longer make our own extension cords. Now the reason he gave was that the cord we make is not UL listed. Ok the cord ends are UL listed and the cord is also UL listed, now I agree the combination of both does not have UL's stamp, but how would this be any different then one of us installing a receptacle? The recep is UL listed the cable is UL listed but when I finish this install UL does not put its stamp on it. He also stated this was per the NEC and for the life of me I can't find it.
Now I know all the limitations and such for extension cord use, but where does it state I can't make my own and how does this differ from any electrical installation? So our company just spent booco dollars on buying extension cords. Any insights?
