I am looking for examples of how jurisdictions handle outdoor electrical inspections when it is raining. Or when the rain has ceased but the ground is still wet. Or there's storm clouds all around that might produce lightning. I have been told that NFPA has a standard or documents on the subject but I haven't been able to find anything.

Any help with this will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

One example might be to NOT do any while it is raining.
NOTE: This example might already be written in the
Tiger's Codes & Practical Theorems Book, under the
"Best Practices Section".........You DO still have the
current edition of the Tiger's Codes don'tcha ?

Another example after it has stopped raining, and no
threat of lightning is present, ...is to wear rubber soled
boots [ i.e. - some sort of a rubber insulator from the
wet ground ].

Have you looked in NFPA 70E ?

Don’t touch the red wire.


No inspections with lightning in ten miles.
