Wet chemistry labs, these are on fume hoods to supply variable power to research equipment. Safety staff who don’t understand all the nuances of reality are citing it as deficient as they are within 6’ of water. I agree that that would normally dictate GFCI but I’m trying to determine why they were not set up that way to begin with, and were approved by the electrical inspector
