Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 002C Hazard:
29 CFR 1926.405(g)(2)(iii): Flexible cords shall be used only in continuous lengths without splice or tap. Hard service flexible cords No. 12 or larger may be repaired if spliced so that the splice retains the insulation, outer sheath properties, and usage characteristics of the cord being spliced. On October 18, 2018 and prior to, located within the fenced area surrounding the elevated water tower storage tank between a minimum 110 volt electrical circuit breaker box with attached energized two-way 110 volt circuit receptacle to the company on site paint storage trailer there is an observed operational blue flexible extension cord which has an approximate one foot section of electrical tape covering a wire nut splice. The blue flexible extension cord is plugged into and powering orange flexible extension cord. The orange flexible cord is also spliced together with wire nuts, one of the wire nuts is exposed on one end and otherwise electrical taped between the spliced sections with the exception of the end of the one wire nut which is not insulated with electrical tape. Both the blue and orange flexible extension cords are not a continuous length without splice or tap and the repaired electrical tape splices do not retain the insulation, outer sheath properties, and usage characteristics of the cords being spliced.
