Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002B Hazard:

1926.960(c)(1)(iii): The employer did not ensure that no employee approached or took conductive objects closer to exposed energized parts than the employer's established minimum approach distance (MAD) or the distance computed by Table V-2: On or about September 9, 2015 the employer did not ensure that employees exposed to 13Kv phase to phase line voltage maintained a MAD of 2.13 feet as required by Table V-2 or that employees were insulated from the energized part by rubber insulating gloves or rubber insulating gloves and sleeves worn in accordance with standard 1926.960(c)(2) which constitutes insulation of the employee from the energized part upon which the employee is working when the employee did not have control of the part in a manner sufficient to prevent exposure to un-insulated portions of the employee's body. Likewise, energized parts were not insulated from the employee and from any other conductive object at a different potential. Or, in the alternative: 29 CFR 1910.269(l)(3)(iii): The employer did not ensure that no employee approached or took any conductive object closer to exposed energized parts than the employer's established minimum approach distance or the distance computed by Table R-3. On or about September 9, 2015 the employer did not ensure that employees exposed to 13Kv phase to phase line voltage maintained a minimum approach distance (MAD) of 2.13 feet as required by Table R-3 or that employees were insulated from the energized part by rubber insulating gloves or rubber insulating gloves and sleeves worn in accordance with standard 1910.269(l)(4) which constitutes insulation of the employee from the energized part upon which the employee is working when the employee did not have control of the part in a manner sufficient to prevent exposure to un-insulated portions of the employee's body. Likewise, energized parts were not insulated from the employee and from any other conductive object at a different potential.
