One of my past favorites in the electrical, fire, and life safety industry include alternate and secondary power for systems, occupancies, and equipment that elevate safety for occupants and buildings alike. And with knowledge comes responsibility, and for me, a true desire to withhold and protect practical safeguarding.Īlthough I learn more and more daily and plan never to stop that process, I often find myself reflecting on some of the biggest surprises while working with code enforcement. Luckily, I am surrounded by mentors and leaders who have coached and guided me to think this way. In order to maintain the purpose of the NEC and the general practice of practical safeguarding of persons and property, we need to understand, implement, and utilize every adopted code, standard and equivalent method to protect the most valuable assets of life and property. Transitioning into different positions throughout the electrical industry started the process that I now understand and live in. It’s my opinion and assumption that this is the thought process for many others in our industry. In my mind, I thought if it is not located in the NEC, it’s not my issue as an electrician. Earlier in my electrical career, working as an electrical journeyman for a large contractor, I rarely had to reference codes and never worried about any code outside of the National Electrical Code (NEC).
