A competitor claimed a finishing nail was an acceptable hanger because the system had been inspected and accepted by the local BCO- who I hope didn't walk the attic with his eyes closed and missed it.
So, its ok until time eternal (or a major renovation) if an inspector missed an obvious code violation during the acceptance inspection & testing? Like the system showing a static less than the demand at flow? glc -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Thursday, January 20, 2011 2:46 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Rolling medical file storage Movable racks are supposed to be protected the same as multi-row racks. So based on the design there could be a violation. But every questionable system has always "been installed that way and accepted" by someone no one can remember. Craig L.
