Abstract

Most Refineries, Drilling Platforms, and chemical plants are equipped with receptacles used for powering equipment. This can present a shock hazard; therefore, the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) require ground-fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs) on all receptacle powering equipment used by personnel. However, these GFCIs are not part of the building?s permanent wiring. Due to the lack of GFCIs at voltages above 240 V, both the NFPA and OSHA require employers to implement the assured equipment-grounding conductor program for all temporary wiring installations.
