Ryan Jackson
NEC Consultant and Inspector
Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters (GFCIs) play a critical role in worker safety, inspection outcomes, and operational continuity. As requirements expand under the 2026 NEC® and recent UL 943 updates, compliance complexity has increased. Inconsistent application of GFCI protection can result in inspection findings, elevated incident exposure, nuisance tripping, and unplanned downtime across facilities.
Join Ryan Jackson, NEC Instructor and contributor to NEC® Code-Making Panels 3 and 17, UL Standard Technical Panels, and the Steel Tube Institute, for a practical session focused on identifying compliance exposure and guiding consistent, defensible GFCI decisions across your organization.
You’ll gain clear insight to assess current installations, strengthen oversight, and reduce inspection and operational risk.
Topics include:
- Where GFCI requirements have expanded under the 2026 NEC® and where organizations may face new compliance exposure
- How recent UL 943 updates affect compliance posture and existing installations
- Common misapplications that lead to inspection findings, nuisance tripping, or operational disruption
- How to evaluate current installations for alignment with updated requirements
- Strategies for applying GFCI requirements consistently across equipment, facilities, or sites to reduce risk and downtime
