Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.107(i)(5): The handle of the spraying gun was not electrically connected to ground by a metallic connection and so constructed that the operator in normal operating position is in intimate electrical contact with the grounding handle. On or about April 6, 2021, and at times prior thereto, at the top coat powder spray booth, the employer did not ensure the handle of an electrostatic spray gun was electrically connected to ground by a metallic connection and so constructed that the operator in normal operating position was in intimate electrical contact with the grounding handle. Employees used manual electrostatic spray guns to powder coat truck beds with Truck Bed Black (combustible dust) which exposes employees to fires and explosion hazards.
