Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 003A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.333(b)(2)(iv)(B): Before circuits or equipment was worked as deenergized, a qualified person did not use test equipment to test the circuit elements and electrical parts of equipment to which employees would be exposed and did not verify that the circuit elements and equipment parts are deenergized. The test was not used to determine if any energized condition existed as a result of inadvertently induced voltage or unrelated voltage backfeed even though specific parts of the circuit had been deenergized and presumed to be safe. When the circuit to be tested was over 600 volts, nominal, the test equipment was not checked for proper operation immediately after this test. 27 Elm St, Auburn, MA On May 2, 2017 and at times prior, the machinery technician did not use electrical test equipment to ensure equipment was deenergized and lacked induced voltage and voltage back feed while he was maintaining electrical equipment and components.
