Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.333(b)(2)(iv)(B): A qualified person shall use test equipment to test the circuit elements and electrical parts of equipment to which employees will be exposed and shall verify that the circuit elements and equipment parts are deenergized. The test shall also determine if any energized condition exists as a result of inadvertently induced voltage or unrelated voltage backfeed even though specific parts of the circuit have been deenergized and presumed to be safe. If the circuit to be tested is over 600 volts, nominal, the test equipment shall be checked for proper operation immediately after this test. a. On or about April 14, 2018, the employer did not ensure that electrical testing equipment was used to verify the deenergized state of the 13,200 VAC primary feed of the MDP-2 switchboard, thereby exposing employees to arc flash/shock hazards.
