  1. These do not satisfy OSHA as the SmartGuard covers are only for use during installation of branch wiring assemblies to protect devices and boxes from sanding dust, paint overspray and drywall mud. These are not designed to be a permanent part of the assembly or replace wall plates. They are designed to protect the device during rough-in and trim and then removed and replaced with approved wall plates prior to the circuits being energized.
