OSHA doesn't like homemade extension cords. While it my be over

Even properly installed replacement plugs are not allowed since it is no

all of the time.


That's interesting. I've seen them cite for frayed and worn cord,
loose original cord ends, and loose attachment at the device, but
never for a properly repaired cord set. I guess there's nothing
stopping one from overstepping their bounds.
