Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004A Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.303(b)(2): Listed or labeled electrical equipment was not used or installed in accordance with instructions included in the listing or labeling: a) SS Industries - White Shanty Department - On or about November 1, 2022, employees were utilizing relocatable power taps (power strips), to power a bench belt/disc sander, exposing employees to fire and electrical hazard. In addition, the relocatable power taps were not connected directly to an outlet and were being daisy chained between multiple extension cords. The electrical equipment was not used in accordance with the listing. Abatement certification required within 10 days after abatement date. The certification shall include a statement that abatement is complete, date and method of abatement, and states that employees and their representatives were informed of this abatement. For Reference: Underwriters Laboratories (UL), refers to power strips as Relocatable Power Taps (RPTs) and, in its "General Information for Electrical Equipment Directory" (sometimes called the UL White Book or UL Directory) contains instructions that require UL-listed RPTs to be directly connected to a permanently installed branch circuit receptacle; they are not to be series-connected to other RPTs or connected to extension cords.
