Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.269(p)(4)(iii)(B): The mechanical equipment was not insulated for the voltage involved, or the mechanical equipment was not positioned so that its uninsulated portions could not approach the energized lines or equipment any closer than the minimum approach distances, established by the employer under paragraph (l)(3)(i) of this section: a. On or about April 9, 2019, the ALTEC Model LR760E70 aerial lift vehicle was positioned so that the uninsulated length of the lower arm of the knuckle boom could contact the 14.4 kV power line, thereby violating the minimum approach distance required by 1910.269(l)(3)(i) and exposing ground personnel to an electrocution hazard.
