The short answer is yes, although it's a bit more complicated than that. The OSHA standard dedicated to “wiring methods, components, and equipment for general use” in the construction industry is number 1926. Within this standard, “temporary wiring” is covered in section. Metal raceways, cable armor, and other metal enclosures for conductors shall be metallically joined together into a continuous electric conductor and shall be so connected to all boxes, fittings, and cabinets as to provide effective electrical continuity. Contrary to common misconception, temporary installation requirements are not "shortcut tolerant. " That isn't their purpose. These federal rules, enforced by. The requirements of Article 590 apply to temporary power and lighting installations and removals, including power for construction, remodeling, maintenance, repair, demolition, and decorative lighting.
