Current through Register Vol. 50, page 114, March 25, 2024

If the service provider reasonably concludes that a dairy's noncompliance with the National Electrical Code or the National Electrical Safety Code poses a significant and immediate safety hazard that prevents completion of any test or measurement required by this chapter, the service provider's obligation to proceed under this chapter is suspended until the hazard is eliminated.

At the discretion of the service provider conducting the test, livestock must be removed from any area where electrical equipment or wiring is examined or electrical measurements are taken. Testing may be suspended if the presence of cows or other animals creates a potential hazard to testing personnel. The locations of electric fences and other electrified cow control devices must be noted and de-energized where practical.
