Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.335(a)(1)(i): Employees working in areas where there were potential electrical hazards were not using electrical protective equipment that was appropriate for the specific parts of the body that needed to be protected and for the work being performed: (a) Rail mill electrical room: On or before August 9, 2024, and at times prior the employer did not ensure that maintenance electrical technicians wore appropriate electrical protective equipment when locking out energized 480-volt electrical circuits. Employees opened and closed a knife switch on the stamp wheel electrical panel (CP-6C) in close proximity to energized conductors without personal protective equipment such as an arc-rated face shield, arc-rated balaclava and voltage rated gloves. This condition exposed the employees to hazards such as shock, electrocution, arc blast, and arc flash.
