This weeks change has been one that was long over due. They finally added residential docks and marinas to the code for us to follow and enforce. As an inspector I used to argue with contractors over residential docking facilities about what does and doesn’t apply. Well the argument is over. Residential docks and marinas are now listed in the scope of Article 555. So for this weeks change that’s where we will stop. We now have Codes that will protect people who are using residential docking facilities, where in the past it was always an argument and the use of 90.4 to enforce something that should have been in the Code book years ago. Article 555 now includes residential docks!
In the next newsletter we will look into the sections of 555 and try and clear up some of the new requirements.
For those of you wondering if we are ever going to do continuing education again, we are planning to do a two-night seminar in December. Watch for our email.
Till the next time work safe be safe
