Sec. 1926.402  Applicability.

    (a) Covered. Sections 1926.402 through 1926.408 contain installation 
safety requirements for electrical equipment and installations used to 
provide electric power and light at the jobsite. These sections apply to 
installations, both temporary and permanent, used on the jobsite; but 
these sections do not apply to existing permanent installations that 
were in place before the construction activity commenced.

    Note: If the electrical installation is made in accordance with the 
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70-1984, exclusive of Formal 
Interpretations and Tentative Interim Amendments, it will be deemed to 
be in compliance with Sec. Sec. 1926.403 through 1926.408, except for 
Sec. Sec. 1926.404(b)(1) and 1926.405(a)(2)(ii) (E), (F), (G), and (J).

    (b) Not covered. Sections 1926.402 through 1926.408 do not cover 
installations used for the generation, transmission, and distribution of 
electric energy, including related communication, metering, control, and 
transformation installations. (However, these regulations do cover 
portable and vehicle-mounted generators used to provide power for 
equipment used at the jobsite.) See subpart V of this part for the 
construction of power distribution and transmission lines.
