REAC Inspectors
Alert:
It has recently come to our attention at the REAC that we
have inspectors recording a defect for an electrical hazard
solely because the disconnect/timer/panel is not secured.
The intent of this defect is not to penalize the property
for unsecured electrical devices, but rather to record the
findings that present an electrical hazard when left unsecured.
The definition states the following: “A cover is missing,
which results in exposed visible electrical connections.”
If the electrical device is found to be unsecured, which
requires inspection, a defect will be recorded only when
bare electrical wiring or bare electrical connections exist.
If it has been your practice to record a defect solely because
an electrical disconnect/timer/panel is unsecured you must
cease this practice immediately.
Please contact our Technical Assistance Center at 888-245-4860
if you have any additional questions or require further
clarification.
Thank you for your continuing efforts to ensure that the
UPCS protocol is properly followed and implemented.
