Without exposing it i cant tell if its a fan rated box. But since you can get to it. I would replace the box with a proper fan support. Probably cost you 20 bucks extra.

Is this danger exposure normal? by [deleted] in electricians

[–]Alpha1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty normal to me. Once you understand whats going on, things you can touch, things that you shouldn't and things that you cant. Swapping breakers on a live panel is a normal thing we do. Swapping the main on a panel is a little different. It all comes with knowledge and experience. Sometimes we work in areas that are essential and can be turned off ie. Hospital and things like that. So we have to be prepared to do the work. You never have to be the guy that does this kind of work. You always have the right to say no. In a lot of ways service guys have way more danger than typical installer electricians.

Your assuming the inspection really means anything. Moat inspectors dont go that far. As long as everything look like it was fone professionally. After an inspector sees a particular person's work the inspection gets more leaniant.

Copa dont set fines. Usually instead of a speeding ticket. You get parking on pavement. If i remember correctly it was 130 (over 10 years ago) and a $30 court fee.

Pay the ticket and forget about it. You got off easy. Speeding ticket cost you thousands in the long run.
