The following instances were observed: (a) Damaged electrical conduit/components on Line 5 near the control labeled "RINSE BLK-ST #3&4." (b) Gear motors on Line 5 near Station 10 and Station 11 have damage to the exterior cable jacket insulation just before the connection to the motor exposing the individual conductor wires. The only protection was the individual wire insulation. (c) Gear motor on Line 5 near Station 29 and Station 30 has damage to the exterior cable jacket insulation just before the connection to the motor exposing the individual conductor wires. The only protection was the individual wire insulation. (d) Damaged receptacle that appears to have burn marks. Secured to a pole painted yellow next to a control board labeled "PART B NIR 15." (e) Damaged exterior jacket with exposed electrical conductors due to damaged insulation on a power supply chord. Near ADL Station 15. (f) ALK #2 Zinc/Nickel Hoist 34 power supply like with the exterior jacket stripped back and not connected properly to the fitting. (g) Power supply not properly connected to the electrical box of the motor near Station 4 Chromate Rinse. (h) Power supply from panel to a pump station near the ALK #2 Zinc/Nickel Line with exposed conductors, not secured in conduit. (i) Power supply to motor at Station 16 on the ALK #2 Zinc/Nickel Line not secured to the box with conductors exposed. (j) Operator Control Panel at the Tin Zinc Line with missing covers on buttons labeled "BARRELL DRIVE" and "DRIVES ON" exposing internal electrical components. (k) Operator Control Panel at the Tin Zinc Line with an electrical receptable that is corroded and the potential for overheating and/or overloading with the use of a multi-plug adapter. (l) Exposed electrical conductors coming out of a metal tray located at the Tin Zing Line. (m) Exposed electrical conductors on the festoon cables not properly connected to the electrical box on the crane at the Tri Black Line 8 (n) No strain relief on the power supply to the ICON TIME SYSTEMS posted at the Zinc Line 3. (o) Exposed electrical conductors on the festoon cables not properly connected to the electrical box on the crane at the Zinc Line 3. (p) Exposed electrical conductors coming out of a cable tray labeled 115 V on the Zinc Line 3. (q) Exposed electrical conductors coming out of conduit with exterior jacket removed on the Zinc Line 3 near Station 7. (r) Exposed electrical conductors coming out of power supply box on an exchanger at the Zine Line 3. (s) Exposed electrical contactor on barrel/drum mixer 22 on Line 10 due to the lid being lifted and not secured. (t) Internal electrical components exposed to corrosion on a Lifeline 3 safety switch on Line 10 due to cover being removed. (u) Exposed electrical conductors, conduit not secured to electrical box on Line 4 next to the 480V MIX STARTER PANEL. (v) Extreme corrosion on the electrical cabinet and electrical components on the Line 4 crane. Abatement documentation is required for this item in accordance with the requirements of 29 CFR 1903.19(d).
