Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.303(b)(1)(ii): Electrical equipment was not free from recognized hazards, based on the mechanical strength and durability, including, for parts designed to enclose and protect other equipment, the adequacy of the protection thus provided: a) Section 5 - On or about March 9, 2016, the employer failed to ensure that all electrical equipment designed to enclose and protect other equipment, such as the electrical metallic conduit for the two floor scissor lifts, was of the proper strength and durability and free of recognized hazards. This damaged conduit was separated from itself and the boxes in multiple locations, which exposed the conductors to damage and put strain on the terminal screw connections.
