Essentials of Safety Part 1


Use of Flexible Cords and CablesFlexible cords and cables shall be approved and suit-able for conditions of use andlocation.Flexible cords and cables shall be used only for:

• Pendants.• Wiring of fixtures.• Connections of portable

lamps or appliances.• Elevator cables.• Wiring of cranes and

hoists.• Connection of stationary

equipment to facilitate their frequent interchange.

• Prevention of noise or vibration.• Appliances, where designed to permit removal.• Data processing cables.

A flexible cord shall be equipped with an attachment plug and energized from an approved receptacle outlet, when used for:

• Portable lamps or appliances.• Frequent interchange of stationary equipment.• Appliances where fastening means and mechanical connections

are designed to permit removal for maintenance and repair.

Flexible cords and cables may NOT be:• Used as a substitute for the fixed wiring of a structure.• Strung through holes in walls, ceilings, or floors.• Placed through doorways, windows, etc.• Attached to building surfaces.• Concealed behind building walls, ceilings, or floors.

Identification:• A conductor of a flexible cord or cable used as a grounded conductor

or an equipment grounding conductor shall be distinguishable from other conductors.

Using Extension Cords:• There is usually no question about use of the short length of cord

furnished as part of an approved appliance or tool. • There is usually no question about an extension cord used

temporarily to permit use of the appliance or tool in its intended manner at some distance from a fixed outlet.

• But there are questions when the usage is not obviously temporary, and when the cord is extended to some distant outlet in order to avoid providing a fixed outlet where needed.

• Flexible cords used in violation of this standard are likely to be damaged by activities in the area such as:

• Door or window edges

• Staples or fastenings

• Abrasion from adjacent materials

• Aging• If the conductors become partially exposed over a period of time,

there will be a danger of shocks, burns, or fire. • Use temporary electrical power and lighting installations only for:

• Remodeling, maintenance, repair, or demolition of buildings, structures, or equipment, and similar activities;

• Experimental or development work; and

• A period not to exceed 90 days for Christmas decorative lighting, carnivals, and similar purposes.

Essentials of Safety Part 1


Splices:• Flexible cords shall be used

only in continuous lengths without splice or tap.

• Hard service flexible cords No. 12 or larger may be repaired if spliced so the splice retains:• Insulation,• Outer sheath properties, and

• Usage characteristics of the cord being spliced.Termination:

• Flexible cords shall be connected to devices and fittings so that strain relief is provided, which will prevent pull from being directly transmitted to joints or terminal screws.

Power StripsInstallation and use requires that:

• Listed or labeled equipment shall be installed and used in accordance with any instructions included in the listing or labeling.

Manufacturers and nationally recognized testing laboratories determine the proper uses for power strips.

• For example, the UL (Underwriters Laboratories) Directory contains instructions that require UL-listed power strips to be directly connected to a permanently installed branch circuit receptacle outlet.

• A "nationally recognized testing laboratory" (NRTL) is an organi-zation recognized by OSHA and tests for safety, and lists, labels,or accepts, equipment or materials.

• Equipment is ‘‘listed’’ if it is mentioned in a list published by anationally recognized laboratory.

§1910.305(g)(2)(iii)

• Equipment is ‘‘labeled’’ if it has a label, symbol, or other identi-fying mark of a nationally recognized testing laboratory.

• Equipment is ‘‘accepted’’ if it has been inspected and found bya nationally recognized testing laboratory to conform to speci-fied plans or procedures of applicable codes.

• They are not to be series-connected to other power strips or connected to extension cords.

• UL also specifies that power strips are not intended for use at construction sites and similar locations.

Power strips are designed for use with a number of low-powered loads, such as computers, peripherals, or audio/video components:

• Power loads are addressed by 29 CFR §1910.304(b)(4), which states: “Outlet devices. Outlet devices shall have an ampere rating not less than the load to be served.”

• Power strips are not designed for high-power loads such as space heaters, refrigerators, and microwave ovens, which can easily exceed the recommended ampere ratings on many power strips.

OSHA Letter of Interpretation — 11/18/02: Abnett

"Surge/Spike Protectors" or "Portable Outlets" · Typically these consist of several components, such as

multiple electrical receptacles, on/off power switch, circuit breaker, and a grounded flexible power cord. Power strips are typically designed for electronic equipment which has a low-powered load.
