Evaluation Checklist
The Bryant wiring device safety evaluation checklist is an excellent tool to add value by working
with your customer to ensure a safe workplace. Additionally, it enables you to give evidence to
its promise to “deliver solutions”.
Wiring devices are crafted to perform specic functions within the electrical and physical
limitations of their design. Normal wear, misapplication, abusive ambient conditions or
extraordinary demands on the product can alter both form and function of these devices.
Under extreme circumstances, wiring devices may cause hazardous or unsafe conditions. It
is essential, therefore, that routine inspection of all wiring devices be performed to identify
and correct such circumstances. Particular care should be taken when inspecting inoperative
products or where it appears that incompatible congurations have been modied or forced to
mate. It is always recommended that a qualied electrician perform all electrical work.
Unsafe conditions or product misapplications can cause personal injury, damage to equipment
and work inefciency. Identifying and rectifying hazardous and dangerous situations can
improve worker morale, protect equipment and save lives.

rudimentary safety inspection. Examination parameters include type of product, product style, product usage
specications, application demands (e.g. strain relief, amperage, etc.), workplace conditions (e.g. harsh or
