29 CFR 1926.451(f)(6): Scaffolds were erected, used, dismantled, altered, or moved such that they, or any conductive material handled on them, could have come closer than the minimum distances established for specific voltages as set forth in the table in subparagraph (f)(6): a) Worksite - On or about April 16, 2024, employees erected an Alum-A-Pole pump jack scaffold within approximately 6.5 feet of an uninsulated power line with voltage of 13.2kV phase to phase and 7.62kV phase to ground exposing employees to electrocution hazards. The erection of this scaffold was within the minimum approach distance of 10 feet. b) Worksite - On or about April 17, 2024, employees worked from and used an Alum-A-Pole pump jack scaffold within approximately 5 feet from an uninsulated power line with voltage of 13.2kV phase to phase and 7.62kV phase to ground exposing employees to electrocution hazards. The use of this scaffold would be within the minimum approach distance of 10 feet.
