Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.269(m)(3)(ii): All switches, disconnectors, jumpers, taps, and other means through which known sources of electric energy may be supplied to the particular lines and equipment to be deenergized was not opened. Such means was not rendered inoperable, unless its design does not so permit, and tagged to indicate that employees are at work. The employer does not ensure that all switches, disconnectors, jumpers, taps, and other means through which known sources of electric energy may be supplied to the particular lines and equipment to be deenergized are open. This violation occurred on or about April 28, 2015, at the job site where employees were exposed to an electrocution hazard when repairing a downed power line without ensuring that all switches, disconnectors, jumpers, taps, and other means through which known sources of electric energy may be supplied to the particular lines and equipment to be deenergized are open. Pursuant to 29 C.F.R. 1903.19, within ten (10) calendar days of the abatement date, the employer must submit documentation showing that it is in compliance with the standard, including describing the steps that it is taking to ensure that all switches, disconnectors, jumpers, taps, and other means through which known sources of electric energy may be supplied to the particular lines and equipment to be deenergized are open.
