During a walk-through survey, what is the policy regarding electrical panel covers?

They must be removed for inspection
They are not removed during the survey
They should be inspected visually
They can be replaced

The correct answer is: They are not removed during the survey

In a walk-through survey, the established practice is that the electrical panel covers are not removed during the inspection. This policy ensures safety for both the inspector and the property owner, minimizing the risks associated with exposing live electrical components. Removing covers can also cause damage to the panel or disturb its operation and integrity. Inspectors are trained to carry out visual inspections, assessing the condition and functionality of the panel without compromising safety standards or the integrity of the electrical system. While visual inspections are essential, it’s crucial to maintain the integrity of the panel cover to prevent potential hazards. This policy emphasizes the importance of adhering to safety protocols while still fulfilling the inspection requirements.
