Sump Pit in Electrical Room

Sump Pit in Electrical Room

Sump Pit in Electrical Room

(OP)
I am doing some work in a building that has a sump pit located in an electrical room.  The sump pump discharge line is ABS and runs exposed from the pump to the ceiling.  It is in close proximity to electrical equipment.  I've been looking through various codes but haven't found anything prohibiting this arrangement.  It seems unsafe, though, so I'm wondering if anyone out there knows of any code that would refer to such an arrangement.

Thanks

It would really help if we knew WHAT COUNTRY YOU ARE IN.  

If you are in the US, read NEC 110.26.
