How do you confuse the bright orange medical grade with the ivory
white or brown consumer hardware?

You expect a cleaner or whatever to know the difference? If the plug fits
someone will manage to get it wrong.


You think so? That will get them fired in a hospital. They are
strictly used for medical equipment, and there are plenty of industrial
grade outlets that are installed for other uses. Why would a lazy
janitor pull a heavy machine away from a wall to plug in something, when
there are empty outlets in plain sight, and spaced 10' or less apart?
The vacuums & floor scrubbers have 25 foot cords.
